Reinstalling Qubes-Whonix TemplateVMs page created and finished. Mistakenly added all content using admin privileges so I deleted page and started over. Also I’m not sure about the page title. Know it needs to be a redirect from Qubes/ ?
Any other advantage of Manual Reinstallation method other than The advantage of this method is, that it also works with non-Fedora based Qubes dom0 UpdateVMs, i.e. also with Debian based Qubes dom0 UpdateVMs.
(just now added by me).?
this is from when i was creating a chapter for it in the guide i work on a couple months ago. i don’t know if it’s with the latest version. additionally, another bug i forgot to mention was that the ability to even select omemo encryption in a chat window would sometimes be haphazard. the omemo icon simply wouldn’t display.
i have not reported these as bugs to the devs since i am not sure if it had something to do with the virtualbox environment i was experimenting with yet. as you may recall, i had a weird error where coyim and torbrowser appeared to be fighting with each other, and that was fixed by increasing the ram available to the workstation. if there is a strong desire to move to gajim, i can give it another round of experiments.

It took multiple tries running the command due to connection failure (Tor congestion). So maybe a comment should be made that re-running command might be necessary.
Using a non-torrified UpdateVM might also be needed if whonix-gw is the (broken, misconfigured…) template that is reinstalled. Instructions for both torified and non-torified are needed. Or maybe combined into a general - How to set UpdateVM?
I didn’t want to make a new thread but could you please create the Whonix ™ for macOS: Download and Installation page? I am happy to assist macOS users to the best of my ability and will start updating the macOS wiki as issues arise.
Thats’ awesome! MacOS page has been created. You’ve been added as page maintainer if that s’ alright with you? You can start editing when you’re ready!
