[qubes-users] Save virtual machine state?

I'm sure this has already been discussed, but is there a way to save the state of a virtual machine, instead of shutting it down? I can't find any info in the docs on what exactly pausing a VM does, but could this be similar? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th

[qubes-users] External VM?

Hi all, I have a VM that I use for Calibre to read ebooks, and my library is getting quite large. Rather than putting the books on an external drive and connecting that to my Calibre VM, would it be possible to move the entire VM to an external drive? It doesn't need to be fast. (It's just a bu

[qubes-users] Hardware report

Hi all, I've attached a hardware report for an Asus G750JW. I can say that Qubes appears to run just fine overall, but with a few limitations. The most important is the wifi -- the Broadcom unit installed isn't supported, so no wifi out of the box. Somewhat annoying, but workable, is the monito

[qubes-users] Disposable VMs

Hi all, I'm confused about running disposable VMs - if I open a browser or file viewer, then want to open a terminal for the same VM, how could I do this? (E.g. I want to view an untrusted file, then make some edits.) Is there a way to configure the default disposable VM in the Qubes menu? I se

[qubes-users] Two disposable VM options?

I've been thinking that it would be handy to have two options for a disposable VM: online and off. I know I can change the default VM, but I often think that it would be nice to have two options always available. (E.g. from the menus, have something like "open in disposable VM" and "open in offl

[qubes-users] Qubes not shutting down

[qubes-users] Incremental / continuous backups?

What's a good approach for regular backups? Does Qubes have a simple way of automatically saving VM snapshots? And, is there a way to do this incrementally? I assume not, since the encryption would block it? Thanks, Loren -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[qubes-users] Can't update dom0?

I can't seem to update dom0 using the regular updater. The system keeps telling me there are updates for dom0, but I can't get anything to actually update. Is there something I'm missing here? Clicking the "Update VM System" button with dom0 selected seems like it starts, but it doesn't really
