Dont use sudo here - you may hit problems with permissions. The same goes for all qube operations - qvm-clone, create etc. Can you simply delete the /var/lib/qubes/appvms/debian-8-dvm directory and then try 'qvm-create-default-dvm debian-8' , and report back? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
