Since /lib/modules is not mounted read-only anymore (only a selected
subdirectory there), it is no longer required to prevent kernel package
installation. Even more - since PV Grub being supported, it makes sense
to have kernel installed in the VM.

Initramfs created in TemplateVM may be used also in AppVMs based on it, so
technically it is different system. Especially it has different devices
mounted (own /rw, own swap etc), so prevent hardcoding UUIDs here.

Without dconf, gsettings uses "memory" backend which isn't saved
anywhere and isn't shared across applications. This makes gsettings
pretty useless.

Do not modify main /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf as it would
cause conflicts during updates. Use
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-qubes.conf instead.
Also remove some dead code for dynamically generated parts (no longer
required to "blacklist" eth0 in VMs - we have proper connection
generated for it). It was commented out for some time already

Initial size of those tmpfs-mounted directories is calculated as 50% of
RAM at VM startup time. Which happen to be quite small number, like
150M. Having such small /tmp and/or /dev/shm apparently isn't enough for
some applications like Google chrome. So set the size statically at 1GB,
which would be the case for baremetal system with 2GB of RAM.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1003
Usage of _static_ files (dropins) to override some of autostart entries
(enable/disable them in appropriate VM types) is much simpler and less
error prone than automatic generators.
Handling code is implemented in qubes-session-autostart, which is called
from qubes-session.

Fedora now needs this sudoer rule. Allows sudo to keep the `QT_X11_NO_MITSHM` ENV
variable which prevents MIT-SHM errors for Fedora and Debian when running a QT
application:
`Defaults env_keep += "QT_X11_NO_MITSHM"`
A complementary commit has been made in gui-agent-linux:

There were multiple problems with reusing existing one:
- need to sync with upstream changes (configuration path etc)
- conflicts resolution on updates
- lack of iptables --wait, which causes firewall fail to load sometimes

qubes-desktop-file-install is called by qubes-triggers-desktop-file-install. It's
arguments are based on the Gnome desktop-install-file utility to allow it to be replaced
by same. Currently the Gnome utility can not be used since it automatically validates
the .desktop entry files with no option to skip validation and will fail on some third
party .desktop files that are not formed properly.
A single trigger script is shared between Fedora, Debian. This script is used by the
package managers triggers and will copy original .desktop files from `/etc/xdg/autostart`
to `/usr/share/qubes/xdg/autostart` and modify the OnlyShownIn / NotShownIn, etc. The
original .desktop files are left untouched and left in place.
Qubes modifies the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to first include the `/usr/share/qubes/xdg`
directory (XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/share/qubes/xdg:/etc/xdg).
If a package gets removed, it's desktop entry is also removed from the /usr/share/qubes/xdg
directory.
'qubes-desktop-file-install' options:
--dir DIR Install desktop files to the DIR directory (default: <FILE>)
--force Force overwrite of existing desktop files (default: False)
--remove-show-in Remove the "OnlyShowIn" and "NotShowIn" entries from the desktop file (default: False)
--remove-key KEY Remove the KEY key from the desktop files, if present
--set-key (KEY VALUE) Set the KEY key to VALUE
--remove-only-show-in ENVIRONMENT Remove ENVIRONMENT from the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should be displayed
--add-only-show-in ENVIRONMENT Add ENVIRONMENT to the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should be displayed
--remove-not-show-in ENVIRONMENT Remove ENVIRONMENT from the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should not be displayed
--add-not-show-in ENVIRONMENT Add ENVIRONMENT to the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should not be displayed
Even when iptables.service is configured to use different file, the
service would not start when there is no /etc/sysconfig/iptables. Fedora
20 package does not provide it.
Instead of overriding /etc/sysconfig/ip{,6}tables, store qubes rules in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.qubes and configure the service to use that file
instead. This will prevent conflict on that file and also handle upgrades.
A file is created in /var/lib/qubes/protected-files. Scripts can grep this file before modifying
known files to be protected and skip any modifications if the file path is within protected-files.
Usage Example:
if ! grep -q "^/etc/hostname$" "${PROTECTED_FILE_LIST}" 2>/dev/null; then
Also cleaned up maintainer scripts removing unneeded systemd status functions and streamlined
the enable/disable systemd unit files functions
This will probably break some user configuration. Do that only when
installing for the first time (during template build), during upgrade
set only those installed by this package instead of all.
This process should be started from user session (most likely
qubes-session). New processes (of that user) will be created as
children of that session making logind and such crap happy. This should
also solve problems with EOF transmission (no additional "su" process)
and prevent loading all the environment multiple times.
This is to allow permissions to be set on some devices where the user needs
less restrictive permissions. /etc/udev/rules.d/99-qubes-misc.rules changes
a few xen devices to allow the users in the qubes group access
Moved iptables configuration to /usr/lib/qubes/init
fc21 + debian + arch will place them in proper place on postinst
Fixes dedian bug of not having them in proper place
Instead of directly using Exec= line, parse the file (at the launch
time) with Gio library. The main reason for this change is to handle
Terminal= option, but generally this approach should be more
bulletproof, especially when some fancy options are present in desktop
files.
It would be called by qvm-sync-clock instead of 'date' directly. This
gives a lot of flexibility - VM can control whether it want to sync time
this way. For now slight corrections (+-2sec) are ignored to not cause
problems by frequent time changes. But it can be easily extended to
refuse time sync when some other mechanism is used.
* use 127.0.1.1 under debian (since it's the default there)
* also set the IPv6 loopback address (::1) since some tools tries to
AAAA resolve the hostname (for example sendmail)
* ensure proper /etc/hosts format through postinst-script (hostname as
last entry)
It looks to be related to this report:

Workaround idea was from comment 37.
The hanging process in Qubes VM is most likely dconf-service, but there
is a lot of possible causes. To start with a non-standard method of
accessing the X session (no real login manager, processes started by
qrexec-agent). So instead of wasting a lot of time on digging through
gnome services, simply shorten the stop timeout - the processes would be
killed anyway.
Since d660f260b8 icon is hidden during VM
startup for non-netvm. Because qubes-session handles tasks sequentially,
move that one earlier to not scary the user with ghost icon.
