Do you have any solid reasoning for suspecting these packages? It's not always the package itself that is the problem, but a package or a tie to another patckage, or that other package, which is causing the issue. Simply replacing libvirt probably won't do you much good, especially if you need to find all those possible dependencies on something so fundamental as libvirt in Qubes. It might be better to first find out why it happens, and then perform a clean re-install. Also Qubes 4 RC-3 will be out either tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or if freezing failed, then possibly next week. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/releases/4.0/schedule/ It's uncertain for sure, however, you have reasonable chances are that it'll be out tomorrow. However, are you sure you got VT-D enabled in your UEFI (BIOS)? You also enabled Virtualisation in general, in case the motherboard has a double enable/disable function like some boards do? Libvirt errors does sound like it could be related to missing hardware features that Qubes 4 requires. Remember that Qubes 4 is much less happy with missing security features, compared to Qubes 3.2. You muight get Qubes 4 running without, but it will likely be ugly, i.e. like your libvirt errors. There is even talks to prevent Qubes 4 to install at all if the hardware is not living up to the security requirements, in order to avoid situations like this. For example, something like that might even be in Qubes 4 RC-3 for all we know. You made absolutely sure, that your hardware meets the requirements, and also absolutely sure, that all of them are enabled? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
