ah, you did this in Dom0 terminal right? The reason is because Qubes attempts to automatically balance which AppVM gets more RAM than the other. If you right click on each AppVM in the Qubes Manager (Qubes 3.2), you can see the automatic memory setting under the Advanced tab, near the RAM amount fields. So since each AppVM gets their fair share of the RAM portion, Dom0 will have less memory for itself. This might change dynamically, for example if you run a lot of AppVM's, the amount of RAM Dom0 has may shrink. Wnile not many AppVM's are running, or after a fresh boot, Dom0 should have more memory. If you open the Qubes Manager in Qubes 3.2, you can see the allocated memory to Dom0 and each the VM's. If it isnt visible, then you can make it visible at the top in the "View" menu. Also note that automatic memory dyanamics does not work if a VM has a PCI card passed through. So if you have any with automatic memory dynamics disabled, be careful you don't give it too much of your RAM resources. 16GB is a good amount, but it can still quickly run you if you have the wrong settings, or run unusual memory hungry and intensive programs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
