Skipping Whonix Postinst Scripts
Skipping Postinst Scripts[edit]
Advanced users only!
Let's say for example you don't like the /usr/share/whonix/postinst.d/70_desktopicons postinst script creating Desktop icons each time an update from Whonix apt repository comes.
Once you identified which postinst script you don't like, just run
before running "apt-get dist-upgrade".
Or you could add them to the WHONIX_BUILD_SKIP_SCRIPTS environment variable separated by spaces to /etc/environment, example.
After changing /etc/environment, you need to reboot.
In case this feature is of interest to you, a solution for not requiring reboot and adding them to a config file in /etc/whonix.d could be easily and quickly added. Just make a feature request in that case.
