It's not very elegant but this should work: Boot from your Qubes install media Troubleshooting Rescue a Qubes system 1 Enter chroot /mnt/sysimage nano /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml look for the line with name="sys-net", it will probably start with QubesNetVm change name="sys-net" to name="sys-net2" ctrl-x, y to save changes, Enter exit reboot remove Qubes install media boot into Qubes normally start a dom0 terminal nano /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml go through that same line again and delete the "2" off the end of "sys-net". it will have been added in multiple places automatically so make sure to review the entire line and delete the "2" anywhere it got added ctrl-x, y to save changes, Enter you should now be in dom0 with no started VMs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
