Also remember time service as well as update checks, can trigger this. I run Qubes with nothing except sys-usb starting on boot. If you want to shutdown sys-net, change netvm for sys-firewall to none and then shut it down. See if that solves the restart problem.(If you have other qubes using it as netvm change them also) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
