OK, that's the principal issue resolved. You need to run qvm-create-default-dvm again AFTER making your customizations. As to the failure to starts qubes-guid I suspect that some of the changes you have made to the template are causing this. You may find some help in the logs, or you may be able to connect using xl console, and see what has happened. Alternatively, you could break down the customization in to discrete steps (or groups of steps), and see if you can isolate the issue like that. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
