Footnotes[edit]
- ↑ Qubes bug report: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5253 [archive]
- ↑
Qubes users might want to use folder
/usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d
in TemplateBasedVMs instead since that folder would persist after reboot and does not require changes in TemplateVM.
Create folder/usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d
.sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d
Then edit file
/usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d/50_user.conf
instead. - ↑ https://github.com/Whonix/sdwdate-gui/blob/master/etc/sdwdate-gui.d/30_default.conf [archive]
