I'm attempting to creating an HVM template based on Debian with a grsecurity kernel. But first, I'd like to my HVM to be able to use qrexec services like copying files.
I installed Debian Stretch in an HVM template and I added the Qubes R3 repository to my apt sources, as well as the right key: deb [arch=amd64] http://deb.qubes-os.org/r3.2/vm stretch main I looked at what packages from that repo are currently installed in my debian-9 template and tried installing them in the HVM: apt install -y libqrexec-utils2 libqubesdb libqubes-rpc-filecopy2 libvchan-xen libxen-4.6 libxenstore3.0 qubes-core-agent qubesdb qubesdb-vm qubes-gpg-split qubes-gui-agent qubes-pdf-converter qubes-thunderbird qubes-usb-proxy qubes-utils xenstore-utils xen-utils-common Then I rebooted. In hindsight, I clearly shouldn't have actually expected this to work. When I boot the HVM I'm getting a bunch of failures and timeouts, and it's taking forever to run Init Qubes Services [1]. [1] http://i.imgur.com/qbIXlaV.png I'd like to be able to use qvm-copy-to-vm, qubes-gpg-client, etc., within this HVM. Is this something that's possible without a huge amount of work or writing new software? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
