Patrick closed T912: qubes integration tools missing as Resolved.

Still works for me, still not reproducible. Old ticket. Therefore closing. Please re-report in the new issue tracker (and link to this old ticket) should this still be an issue.

HulaHoop closed T530: CPU-induced latency Covert Channel Countermeasures as Invalid.

After running a bunch of tcp ping tests, the conclusion is this attack
is not really effective against TCP like ICMP. The latency is much lower
for TCP pings and though it slightly decreases with cpu stress it is not
consistent. Reloading pages in TBB with cpu stress
on/off does not impact latency readings while doing so with tc
attached has massive latency foot prints - implying it will ironically make such attacks much easier in addition to degrading performance.

When an implementation is decided, let's decide if we can include this in security-misc for use on Linux hosts and Kicksecure. We would need some way in detecting the active NIC since on wireless systems wlan0 is the interface of choice and not eth0

tc-netem is a utility that is part of the iproute2 package in Debian. It leverages functionality already built into Linux and userspace utilities to simulate networks including packet delays and loss.

I cannot reproduce. I've installed qubes-template-whonix-15-4.0.1-201905241112, updated it with qubes testing repository enabled and I see all the actions available in thunar.
But I do see some warnings on thunar's stderr, like this:

(Thunar:27375): Gtk-WARNING **: 01:41:41.317: Refusing to add non-unique action 'uca-action-1507455450991127-4' to action group 'ThunarActions'

Looks like actions are added multiple times to /etc/xdg/Thunar/uca.xml, which is later copied to /home/user/.cnfig/Thunar/uca.xml. Relevant code in https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux/blob/master/debian/qubes-core-agent-thunar.postinst

marmarek added a comment to T709: port Whonix package build process to Qubes package build process.

To build a package with qubes-builder, you need to add Makefile.builder file with just one line: DEBIAN_BUILD_DIRS := debian. This will tell qubes-builder that given repository contains Debian package.
Alternatively, if that would be too much of a problem, it should be easy to add an option that do auto detection (probably just looks for debian directory).
