Qubes OS release
4.1 rc3
Brief summary
A checkbox is not grayed out where it should be in Settings panel. Error message could be improved.
Steps to reproduce
("Q Menu" = "Q")
believe that a disposable needs a "template" of some kind (very late, dazzled and confused by newness of 4.1, genetically prone to stupid mistakes)
create template , i.e. Q > Create Qubes VM > Type:Template, Name "TEST".
check "Launch settings after creation" (or by Qubes Manager >) Settings > Advanced > Other > check "Disposable template"
This is a 'live' option, but shouldn't be.
"Error: Advanced Tab: Invalid Property 'template_for_dispvms' TEST"
Expected behavior
If its not an option, it should be grayed out.
If an error message is thrown, it should be informative for non-expert users.
If checkbox cannot be solved, consider new text "This is a Template VM. Only AppVMs can be used as a template for disposables." Could also be very useful as a mouseover text.
