fedora 26 dvm not displayed as disposable

[kototama]

Qubes OS version:

Q4RC3

Affected TemplateVMs:

fedora 26

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install fedora 26 template with:

sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-26
qvm-create -l red -t fedora-26 fedora-26-dvm
qvm-prefs fedora-26-dvm template_for_dispvms True
qvm-features fedora-26-dvm appmenus-dispvm 1
qubes-prefs default-dispvm fedora-26-dvm

Expected behavior:

A menu entry with Disposable: fedora-26-dvm is created

Actual behavior:

A menu entry with Domain: fedora-26-dvm is created

General notes:

Is there a workaround? How can I start a fedora 26 disposable VM?

qvm-features fedora-26-dvm appmenus-dispm 1

Typo, should be appmenus-dispvm.
If that doesn't help, try qvm-appmenus --update fedora-26-dvm

You wrote appmenus-dispm, should be appmenus-dispvm.

I see. I had it right in the bash history, just typed it wrongly for this bug report.
Typing qvm-appmenus --update fedora-26-dvm solved it. Thank you very much.

One more question, I have: update-availables 1 in fedora-25-dvm prefs but not in fedora-26-dvm. Do I need to set it?

No. It should be on the template (fedora-26), not fedora-26-dvm. It is info that you have some updates pending for that template. updates-available should be handled automatically, no manual action should be required.
