[qubes-users] manually import VM's
I will be reimaging a QubesOS machine. Will I be able to save the existing VM's manually and import into the fresh Install of Qubes? I would like to do the backup operation without needing to actually boot up the existing OS, and then restore the backed up volumes after an install. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Qubes 4.0 backup vm to USB from dom0
@Yuraeitha actually i am experiencing this bug with qvm-backup-restore: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/HZVBAqerLoI Is there a way to manually trigger a refresh of the drop-down menu of available qubes? qvm-backup-restore does not reliably add qubes to the menu of available vm's and my only way to use them is by using qvm-run to be specific, this bug is only happening when trying to restore fedora-25-dvm backed up from qubes 4.0-rc1, all other vm's restoration worked fine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] qvm-backup-restore bug qubes 4.0-rc4
i have successfully backed up and restored several vm's after upgrading from rc-1 to rc-4 there is a bug which happens repeatedly when restoring the fedora-25-dvm domain. I have already restored fedora-25 template successfully. when restore begins the vm is added to the qubes vm menu but soon after it is removed from the menu. vm can still be used using qvm-start drom dom0 but does not appear in the drop down menu of qubes domains. is there a way to manually trigger a refresh for the drop-down menu so that it will detect and add the vm to the list of qubes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Options for securing /boot
I dont dual boot, as implied earlier. I have had suspicious activity happen before in Qubes3.2 at a certain location several times; errors from Xen saying that my machine is not returning all of its memory and while viewing Xen logs I have seen the creation of domains which I surely did not do myself. I currently have upgraded to 4.0rc1 and love the choice to use HVM over PV. The reason I was thinking about is the scenario that I use a disposable, live-boot linux the next time I go to this location. If the live-boot linux session were hijacked somehow, the Qubes /boot volume would be exposed. Now with the release of Qubes 4.0 I would probably be better off just using Qubes, but if I could encrypt /boot I think I would be better off using the disposable live-boot method. I like the idea suggested by Unman, this is exactly what I wanted to do with Grub2, I just did not want to break anything in Qubes by doing so. Has anyone had any experience using Grub2 to encrypt the /boot partition and can confirm that it wont break anything with Qubes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Issues with Qubes 4.0
I would just like to start off by saying I am a huge fan of Qubes and I am glad the decision was made to utilize HVM's instead of PV's. I just wanted to contribute some issues I have encountered with Qubes 4.0: Issue 1: Copying files from dom0 seems to be broken. qvm-copy-to-vm hangs and never completes. sending a SIGINT results in error message popup: qfile-unpacker: Fatal error: Child process exited abnormally(error type: File exists). Python trace on terminal shows this error occuring during function load_entry_point in script qvm-run. Despite the error message that File exists, it does not exist on target machine and fails to copy. Issue 2: bridging usb thumb drives fails to work I can succesfully access an SD card in an arbitrary domain by bridging the USB device, but this does not work with a normal USB thumb drive. sys-usb successfully recognizes that block devices have been attached via USB port and dom0 recognizes that the devices are present as well. When I attempt to bridge the devices to a machine the target HVM fails to recognize any block devices are attached and the only change to /dev/ is the addition of a usbmon file. The attached block devices fail to transfer to the target HVM and remain present in sys-usb Also, it would be useful if the final release version came with lvm2 already installed. Issue 3: fails to properly shutdown when invoking shutdown -h now from dom0 terminal will eventually display 'reached target shutdown' but will never actually power off the machine (dell inspiron 5558) when using the GUI shutdown option the shutdown process gets stuck in an infinite loop and requires power button to shut off. loop displays two messages repeating in quick succession. They move too quick for me to read but are similar to this: ioctl fail - (some message that is too quick to read) error (something) LUKS-... The combination of issues 1 and 2 make it impossible for me to retrieve any of my files from my USB backup into the proper domains. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
