I tried the command on my only HVM, and I received the message: ***Running the tool as root is strongly discouraged, this will lead you in permissions problems. Retry as unprivileged user or use "--force-root" to continue anyway. I wasn't using root user at the time, so I found that strange. And after I changed the HVM to pv virt_mode, I got the same virtualization error. I then tried the command on every single VM. I still received the "--force-root" message, but there were no other errors in the command. When I submitted the commands, I received lists of information about the VMs. And when I changed them to pv virt_mode, I still got the same virtualization error. (If dom0 doesn't say that the command was unsuccessful, it was successful, right? Otherwise, I may not have successfully set the VMs to pv virt_mode.) It seems that we have different versions of Qubes (you have Qubes 4.0 and I have Qubes 3.2), so I can see why your method might not work for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
