Yes, this was in Dom0 term I tried lowering the mem usage per vm and it seem to take care of the problem but I rebooted and it was again not allowing any other vm's to start other Dom0 mem shows 1092 mb sys-net shows 401 mb, sys-firewall 151 mb ( I lowered it) sys-whonix, 151 mb ( which I lowered it as well) which comes no where close to 16 MEG What's a good number to run the vm's at for mem min and max ? I'm just not sure whats taking up all the mem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
