1. what acpi errors? what they say? 2. dunno, no idea, maye for security purposes? 3. I only can't delete the default dvms. Make sure no other vms are using them as netvm first. I can delete any custom ones I create though np. 4. install and run system-config-printer on the template you are using for the dvm templateyou wish to use for printing. the main template. It is much more confusing its like an extra template. not the one that says dvm, the black colored one. in 4.0 Temporary allow it network access first from qubes manager or qubes-prefs by giving it a network vm first. 6. try update from dom0 terminal and see wha it says. 7. first I've heard of this got any links to exactly what you are referring? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
