Just add the following lines to /etc/pacman.conf in the template: > IgnorePkg = libpulse > IgnorePkg = pulseaudio > gnorePkg = xf86-input-* > IgnorePkg = xorg-server afterwards "pacman -Syu" should work. For me that call also appears to work after setting the environmental variables http_proxy/https_proxy to http://10.137.255.254:8082/ The only missing part for me know are the tools to copy between VMs AND (important to me) the qvm-usb proxy functionality ... how to get that fixed?
