xdg-open is more robust in choosing default application for particular
file type: it supports fallback if the preferred application isn't
working, and most importantly it support system-wide defaults
(/usr/share/applications/defaults.list,
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list), so no "random" application is
chosen.
By default xdg-open tries to use environment-specific tool, like
gvfs-open - which isn't good for us, because many such tools do not wait
for editor/viewer termination. That would mean that DisposableVM would
be destroyed just after opening the file.
To avoid such effect, we set DE=generic.

No functional change.
This will make it easier to switch the tool (without recompiling
vm-file-editor), or even use differrent tools depending on some
conditions.

qubes-sysinit.sh waits for xenbus initialization by watching its
interface file presence. In linux before 3.10 there is no
/dev/xen/xenbus, which is the case in Debian 7 (3.2 kernel). The problem
applies only to the VMs with PVGrub enabled, because otherwise VM would
use dom0 privided kernel, which is much newer.

Sending dbus calls to a service which isn't running _and is blocked to
not be started_ would result in timeout, which would delay the whole
system suspend.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1419
Many USB controllers doesn't play nice with suspend when attached to PV
domain, so unload those drivers by default. This is just a configuration
file, so user is free to change this setting if his/shes particular
controller doesn't have such problem.

It is expected to not output anything on stdout. Especially remote end
may be already terminated, so writing there would result in EPIPE.

Check `yum check-update` exit code, instead of `grep` - when there are
multiple commands on the single line, $? contains exit code of the last
executed.

DNF in Fedora 22 uses python2, but in Fedora 23 - python3. Package both
of them, in separate packages (according to Fedora packaging guidelines)
and depend on the right one depending on target distribution version.

Explicitly block something like "curl http://10.137.255.254:8082" and
return error page in this case. This error page is used in Whonix to
detect if the proxy is torrified. If not blocked, it may happen that
empty response is returned instead of error. See linked ticket for
details.

* Check whether sysctl is accessible
* Check whether a key which exists when CONFIG_MODULES=y is not accessible
If true, CONFIG_MODULES=n, so ignore modprobe failure.
If false, fail.
Apparently unmanaged devices are loaded only from main
NetworkManager.conf. Exactly the same line pasted (not typed!) to main
NetworkManager.conf works, but in
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-qubes.conf it doesn't.
BTW There was a typo in option name ("unmanaged_devices" instead of
"unmanaged-devices", but it wasn't the cause).
This reverts commit 6c4831339c.

Because those services do not yet support being restarted.
Extended variable `$nrconf{override_rc}`, i.e. packages only reported to need
restart, but blacklisted from default/suggested automatic restarted with
`qubes-core-agent` and `qubes-gui-agent`.
See also `$nrconf{override_rc}`:
