Since upgrading to the latest distribution I have several annoying Qubes-Whonix interaction problems that affect my workstation but not whonix gateway.
(1) Update icon does not appear in Qubes “State” column for WS template. Works for Gateway template and all other non-whonix templates.
(2) VMs based upon Whonix WS template not inheriting program list. Every new VM forces me to go into anon-whonix/add new short cut/add tor browser. Tor browser is not appearing in VM based upon Whonix WS template by default.
(3) Whonix upgrade “apt-get” is not recognizing that TBB is already installed on Template VM. Such that if a person manually downloads the update using Tor’s own update function apt-get-upgrade will download the program again. Further, booting template VM will cause an auto pop-up stating that Tor bowser is not installed even after Tor has already been downloaded twice (both manually and by apt-get).
None of these are major problems but annoyances.
