Re: [qubes-users] Windows hanging at starting up screen (changing xen video -> cirrus not working?)

2017-05-09 Thread Gaiko Kyofusho 
I tried on a diff machine, same win7iso though, same situation. I am
thinking it might be the iso, need to get my hands on another win7 iso and
try that.

try making one on another machine, ya why not.

So what did you actually try?
Did you do all the 5 things?
Or only 2 of the 5?

No log files from debug mode either? (6)

That stack trace suggests xen/libvirt/qubes-manager state mismatch
I've seen happen on rare occasion.

Shot in the dark, try:
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo systemctl restart libvirtd.service

or try re-creating with different VM name.

[qubes-users] Windows hanging at starting up screen (changing xen video -> cirrus not working?)

2017-04-29 Thread Gaiko Kyofusho 
I am trying to setup a win7 template. I started with the:

qvm-create --hvm-template win7-x64-template -l green

which seemed to work well enough, then tried to install windows (win7 pro
x64). When I try using:

qvm-start win7-x64-template --cdrom=/home/user/win7.iso

It starts up and then hangs (I've tried leaving it overnight, no progress)
at the glowing starting windows. I then searched around and found two posts
and the github work around of

cp /var/lib/qubes/appvms/win7/win7.conf /tmp

then mod'ing the  line to cirrus then
running

qvm-start win7-x64-template --cdrom=/home/user/win7.iso
--custom-config=/tmp/win7.conf

now I get an error:

--> Loading the VM (type = TemplateHVM)...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qvm-start", line 136, in

if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreateWithFlags() failed',

libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new

thoughts?
