Re: [qubes-users] Resizing template vm works, but doesn't fix running out of space -- because updates use something called disp-mgmt
Well, I tried again and the upgrade worked. I don't get it. I changed the size of the template yesterday, and it didn't work. Today, I didn't change anything, and it did. The only thing that changed this time was that I hard-power-cycled the machine, where before I had merely shut down the vms, and then brought them up again. So, I think you are right -- after changing the size of the template vm, I had to "really" power cycle everything instead of just shutting it down using the qubes manager. Go figure.

I assume it's hidden from me for a reason... I had a similar issue, but more space was required. I increased the "System storage max. size" by a couple GB on the Fedora-30 template, attempted the update install again, and it was successful. To do this, go to the "Qube Settings" of the fedora-30 template, and under the "Disk storage" section of the "Basic" settings tab, increase the "System storage max. size:" by whatever amount you need. I'm not sure if it is a requirement for the Qube (the fedora-30 template in this case) to be powered off, but I doubled checked and made sure mine was before making this change. I apologize in advance if the formatting of this isn't correct, and a second apology for forgetting to copy the mailing list the first time. --Cody -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Resizing template vm works, but doesn't fix running out of space -- because updates use something called disp-mgmt
I got a ping saying there was an update for my fedora-30 template VM, So, I started the Qubes updater. I then get the error that it needs an additional 34 MB to install the kernel image. No problem, I think. So I go to the documentation and look up how to increase the size of the template VMs. Easy peasy -- I increase the size of the Fedora-30 template by a couple of gigs, and reboot-- and the new space shows up. Great I think. I start the updater and get the same error. I then watch it happen, and when I start the updater, it opens something called the "disp-mgmt-fedora-30" vm, which I didn't even know existed. Obviously, changing the size of the fedora template vm didn't change the size of this. How do I change the size of the "disp-mgmt-fedora-30" vm -- and is it safe to to? I assume it's hidden from me for a reason... Thanks! billo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
