qvmx

Some helper scripts for Qubes OS to provide TUIs for annoying operations.

Prerequisites

These scripts use gum heavily. Go get the bin (in a dispvm) and pop that into dom0 and its PATH however you prefer.

⚠️ Obviously, installing binaries in dom0 is a big security consideration. Do so at your own peril.

Installing the scripts

• Download or clone this repo
• Copy them into dom0 using:
  (Assuming the repo is cloned into /home/user/qvmx)
  • sudo qvm-run $vm 'cat /home/user/qvmx/dom0/qvmx-copy-screenshot' > /tmp/qvmx-copy-screenshot
  • sudo qvm-run $vm 'cat /home/user/qvmx/dom0/qvmx-prune-lvm' > /tmp/qvmx-prune-lvm
  • chmod +x /tmp/qvmx-*
  • sudo mv /tmp/qvmx-* /usr/local/bin

Scripts

qvmx-copy-screenshot

Provides a nice TUI that moves the most recent n screenshots from ~/Pictures/Screenshots/ to ~/Pictures/ in a qube of your choice.

qvmx-prune-lvm

Removes LVM volumes marked -backup (by default ignoring any qubes with -matrix in their name, but this is optional).

The TUI confirms a few times, since this is destructive as hell.
