.. program:: qvm-service ======================================================================== :program:`qvm-service` -- Manage (Qubes-specific) services started in VM ======================================================================== Synopsis ======== | :command:`qvm-service` [-l] <*vmname*> | :command:`qvm-service` [-e|-d|-D] <*vmname*> <*service*> | :command:`qvm-service` <*vmname*> <*service*> [on|off] Options ======= .. option:: --help, -h Show this help message and exit .. option:: --list, -l List services (default action) .. option:: --enable, -e Enable service .. option:: --disable, -d Disable service .. option:: --default, -D, --delete, --unset Reset service to its default state (remove from the list). Default state means "lets VM choose" and can depend on VM type (NetVM, AppVM etc). .. option:: --verbose, -v increase verbosity .. option:: --quiet, -q decrease verbosity .. option:: --version Show program's version number and exit Supported services ================== This list can be incomplete as VM can implement any additional service without knowledge of qubes-core code. meminfo-writer Default: enabled everywhere excluding NetVM This service reports VM memory usage to dom0, which effectively enables dynamic memory management for the VM. .. note:: This service is managed by dom0 code and is not visible for *qvm-service* tool. qubes-firewall Default: enabled only in ProxyVM Dynamic firewall manager, based on settings in dom0 (qvm-firewall, firewall tab in qubes-manager). This service is not supported in netvms. qubes-network Default: enabled only in NetVM and ProxyVM Expose network for other VMs. This includes enabling network forwarding, MASQUERADE, DNS redirection and basic firewall. qubes-update-check Default: enabled Notify dom0 about updates available for this VM. This is shown in qubes-manager as 'update-pending' flag. cups Default: enabled only in AppVM Enable CUPS service. The user can disable cups in VM which do not need printing to speed up booting. crond Default: disabled Enable CRON service. network-manager Default: enabled in every qube that has no netvm and has provides_network preference set to True Enable NetworkManager. Only VM with direct access to network device needs this service, but can be useful in ProxyVM to ease VPN setup. clocksync Default: disabled Enable NTPD (or equivalent) service. If disabled, VM will sync clock with selected VM (aka ClockVM) instead. ClockVM for particular VM can be set in policy of qubes.GetDate service, using target= parameter. qubes-yum-proxy Deprecated name for qubes-updates-proxy. qubes-updates-proxy Default: enabled in NetVM Provide proxy service, which allow access only to yum repos. Filtering is done based on URLs, so it shouldn't be used as leak control (pretty easy to bypass), but is enough to prevent some erroneous user actions. yum-proxy-setup Deprecated name for updates-proxy-setup. updates-proxy-setup Default: enabled in AppVM (also in templates) Setup yum at startup to use qubes-yum-proxy service. .. note:: this service is automatically enabled when you allow VM to access updates proxy and disabled when you deny access to updates proxy. disable-default-route Default: disabled Disables the default route for networking. Enabling this service will prevent the creation of the default route, but the VM will still be able to reach it's direct neighbors. The functionality is implemented in /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip. disable-dns-server Default: disabled Enabling this service will result in an empty /etc/resolv.conf. The functionality is implemented in /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip. lightdm: Default: disabled Start `lightdm` and avoid starting `qubes-gui-agent`. In this case, `lightdm` is responsible to start the `X.org` server. software-rendering: Default: enabled Sets variables that enforces the use of software rendering. Disable this service in case your qube has access to a graphics card. guivm: Default: disabled Enable common mandatory functionalities in a GuiVM. guivm-gui-agent: Default: disabled When enabled, it starts hybrid GuiVM specific functionality. guivm-vnc: Default: disabled When enabled, it starts VNC GuiVM specific functionality. tracker: Default: disabled When enabled, GNOME Tracker is started. This provides desktop search features for the GNOME desktop and for certain GNOME applications By default, it will parse and index files in: - ~/Documents, ~/Pictures, ~/Music, and ~/Videos, including all subdirectories of these directories. - The directories ~ and ~/Downloads, but _not_ including any subdirectories thereof. If GNOME Tracker is not installed in the qube, this has no effect. evolution-data-server: Default: disabled When enabled, Evolution Data Server is started. This provides an API for applications to integrate with the Evolution mail and calendar client, and is mostly used by GNOME applications. If Evolution Data Server is not installed in the qube, this has no effect. usb-reset-on-attach: Default: disabled Reset devices when attaching them using qvm-usb (or its GUI equivalent). This is known to help with some devices, that cannot deal with re-attaching to another driver. minimal-netvm: Default: enabled in NetVM Performs memory optimizations to make NetVM consume as little RAM as possible. This is done by disabling unnecessary services and keeping a memory reserve for the kernel drivers. minimal-usbvm: Default: enabled in USBVM Disables unnecessary services for USBVM. custom-persist: Default: disabled Enables minimal state AppVM (custom persist) feature. When enabled, user bind dirs must be defined using qvm-features as ``/rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d/`` will be ignored (see feature documentation for more details). This will also disable ``/home`` and ``/usr/local`` persistence as well as ``/rw/config/*`` automatically executed configs. servicevm Default: disabled Changes the qube icon to ServiceVM theme and moves the qube to ``SERVICE`` tab of Qubes Application Menu. If the qube ``provides_network`` property set/reset to True or False, the value of ``servicevm`` feature is automatically readjusted accordingly.
