Don't think it's pool space related. Tried to reproduce this. First installed the minimal template, tested, then did an --action=reinstall. The menu shortcut for xterm stopped working. Did a refresh applications in Qube Settings but that also failed to start the template qube. qvm-run gave me "VM directory does not exist: /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-26-minimal" and ls confirms it does not. This is probably a bug, possibly https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3169. I'll make a note in there. At that point, "sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-26-minimal" followed by "sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-26-minimal" worked with no errors and restored proper function. Next, I tested with the template running. --action=reinstall shutdown the template before doing its work, but resulted in the same bug as before. Doing a dnf remove with the template running failed with an error message about same. I didn't see -root-tmp at any time; not sure what might have created it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
