qvm-service infrastructure does not work with whonix-gw-14 template
Closed, WontfixPublic
Actions

Description

If you disable a qvm-service (example: qubes-updates-proxy) for sys-whonix VM
the file
/var/run/qubes-service/qubes-updates-proxy
is created nonetheless (not expected) and as a result of that, the systemd service qubes-updates-proxy.service is enabled (because above file exists).

This means that the Qubes methodology to enable/disable service appears broken for whonix-gw-14 based AppVMs.

dom0: "qvm-service sys-whonix" output:
qubes-updates-proxy off

Does this also happen in Qubes Debian based VMs?

Reducing the number of lingering, unrealistic tickets, therefore closing.

This either needs source code contributions is is realistically never going to happen.
