That's one of the new remediations for Spectre/Meltdown. In order to attach a PCI device, you have to switch your NetVM back to HVM mode. You can do that in VM Settings GUI or dom0 command with qvm-prefs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Import back VM (3.2) to Qubes 4.0RC3 ?
I have done my restore. Do have some bugs, will open a ticket in Github tomorrow. But I do have an error when trying to add "devices" for my netVM: Error: Device tab: Can't attach pci device to VM in pvh mode ?? What is the pvh mode ?

That might be only available in the Testing repository, not in Stable yet. In dom0, try running: sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing then look for Qubes Manager again. You only have to do this once, afterwards you can go back to the regular "sudo qubes-dom0-update" for updates. If you don't care about having Qubes Manager, you could also run "qubes-backup-restore" from dom0 to jump directly to the restore interface. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Hi, I have installed Qubes 4 without any problem. I have done the dom0 upgrade. I am able to start the system. But I do not have any "Qubes Manager" ...
