[qubes-users] How to see what Qubes is doing during boot?

2018-10-11 Thread 'floasretch' via qubes-users
Booting Qubes 4.0 on a five-year-old Core i3 laptop, it always sits for several minutes with a grey screen, white Q logo, and slowly advancing progress bar. Is there some textual boot report I can watch instead, to see why it takes so long? -- You received this message because you are

[qubes-users] dispVM shuts down immediately after starting (I'm trying to run xterm)

2018-10-15 Thread 'floasretch' via qubes-users
On Qubes 4.0, when I try to start a dispVM, I get a popup notice that it's starting, then a popup that it started, then a popup that it halted. I get no error message, even when I specify --verbose: [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run --verbose --autostart --dispvm=whonix-ws-dvm --service --

[qubes-users] Deleting app VMs in Qubes 4.0 doesn't free up disk space

2018-10-10 Thread 'floasretch' via qubes-users
My hard disk was 95% full, as shown by usage/size in the output of qvm-pool -i lvm. So I decided to delete some old unneeded app qubes, each taking a few hundred MB or a few GB of space. Before deleting each one, I started it to check the contents, to verify there was nothing I needed to save.

A qube window that I was using in full-screen mode died and somehow locked up the gui in dom0 (totally unresponsive to keyboard & mouse input, except that the mouse still moved the pointer), and I had to switch to a text console (ctl-alt-F2) and kill xfce to force it to log out and reset the
