Description

Can you please have a short look at these three simple configuration files?

  1. https://github.com/Whonix/grub-enable-apparmor/blob/master/etc/default/grub.d/30_apparmor.cfg

Should be fine in Qubes?

  1. https://github.com/Whonix/grub-screen-resolution/blob/master/etc/default/grub.d/30_screen_resolution.cfg

Better not installed on Qubes, not useful?

  1. https://github.com/Whonix/grub-output-verbose/blob/master/etc/default/grub.d/30_output_verbose.cfg

Better not installed on Qubes, not useful?

Qubes VMs (currently) does not use grub at all - Xen loads kernel
directly from dom0 filesystem (yes, VM have no influence on kernel
binary and parameters).
So, those files will not be used at all.

But we might introduce support for pvgrub some day, and then it
will matter. From those three files, IMO only graphic mode may cause
some troubles.

Alright. That answers my question. Thanks!
