Hi all, I also built the ArchLinux template VM just a few days ago. The build process went well but nothing happened when I tried to launch applications from the ArchLinux VM.
I connected using the console to see what happens. So I ran the following command from dom0: "sudo xl console archlinux-tvm", then login as "root" with no password. I then ran "systemctl --failed" and noticed the "rw.mount" service had failed. Apparently it failed to mount /dev/xvdb on /rw because there was no filesystem on the block device (cf "blkid /dev/xvdb"). It expected an ext4 filesystem. As a workaround I copied the private.img file form a debian-10 VM to the folder with the archlinux images in dom0. I was then able to start the VM and run applications from the menu as expected, and I have not noticed any other issue with this archlinux VM. I still have to manually the private.img file if I clone this VM. So I still don't know the root cause of the issue (why the private.img image contains no ext4 filesystem) but I hope it will help its resolution.
