If Thunderbird default install is not going to be reinstated then adding “apt-get install thunderbird enigmail” is needed? (on the wiki)
1 Like
Yes, I’ll take a look around and find the page(s) that need those instruction. Maybe a few pages can have that in a footnote.

Updated Encrypted Email with Thunderbird page. Install thunderbird and enigmail was added. Though it would be best for users to try to install instead of trying to figure out if the packages are installed. Most users would get confused imo.

Whonix Warrant Canary subheading added. Not sure if this is the correct spot on the page for it.

Fixed the format error in “Comparison with Others” . Not sure who made the edit but is there a reference that Tails can be configured with persistent entry guards?

BTW I make errors often enough so its no big deal.

Is it needed ? there is no laws in where Whonix is requesting to add malicious things afaik.
also comparison with others , i dunno who done some fixed but they are nonsense and contradictory e.g:
-
Its written the compared versions whonix 13 , well in 13 we werent having xfce , while you see that in features whonix using xfce?
-
In Last Update written "This wiki page is up to date " , and thats not true at all.
-
Also builds for whonix we dont have 32-bits anymore , plus that means it wont work in 32-bit as well.
…etc
so either someone do the whole tests again and do them one by one for whonix 14 and Tails and update everything or this comparison became just collective of bullshit.
Correct but not everybody knows that. The linked thread explains the reason for not having a warrant canary. This also can be used if this (Whonix warrant canary) is brought up. Easier to give a link to https://whonix.org/wiki/Trust than having to explain every time.
Correct, it should be KDE if Whonix 13 is being compared. But not a big deal since xfce is the current DE. Regardless, I believe(?) Patrick put that there so if he want xfce to be listed in that spot…
At the time of writing this page was up to date. Meaning at the last full page update.
If the comparison is Whonix 13 than this is correct. But this should probably be changed or at least a footnote stating 32 bit images are no longer available. Already a footnote stating Whonix 14 uses 64 bit builds
Not sure this is an “all or none situation”. Having some incorrect info like the wrong DE listed doesn’t mean the comparison is invalid. If you read the top of the page:
If any incorrect or outdated information is noted, the reader can either directly edit this page, or contact us and we will correct it as soon as possible.
This is because pages like this are very difficult to keep up to date. If there are mistakes users can let us know or make edits themselves.

I’ve been playing with https://github.com/rustybird/qubes-split-browser for about a week or so. Its kind of cool but not something that should be recommended for use imo.
- Instructions as they are now are a little confusing. I personally had
- 2
Stop-Points[1] installing package - 2
Stop-Pointstrying to figure how to use.
- 2
- Fingerprinting would be an issue since the split-browser package needs to be installed in the Whonix DVM Template. Very bad if few people used this package.
- Requires a persistent VM for all bookmarks, forum logins. So two VMs are needed. The instructions don’t specify a name for the persistent VM so all users will be giving it a different name. This could lead to further finngerprint (in case of compromise) since the DispVM knows the name of the VM from which it was spawned. Obviously this could be fixed by recommending a common name for the VM?
Of course I really cant evaluate except for usability but I think this would fall under Customizing Tor Browser in DVM Template i.e. discouraged
Possible uses:
Using Tor Browser without Tor - split browser would provide better usability.

I wonder if @torjunkie has any thoughts on this? This was one of his/her requests.

@HulaHoop its better if you simplify the KVM wiki to latest Debian builds stuff and not to add more instructions more than needed e.g:
http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/KVM#Notice
these 2 issues both are already fixed.
or For **Debian Stretch+** you need to install: stretch everyone now using it , no need to put instruction for old debians.
Network manager issue …etc. KVM wiki needs to be updated and refreshed again. Hope you can do that whenever you have the chance.
Done.
As for the the section on VLC and “Network Manager Systray Unmanaged Devices”, these are part of a non-KVM template and would need to be updated with irrelevant sections removed if @Patrick approves.
