OK - so it looks that it does not work like that in QubesOS - i.e. by default the modules directory is read only. I found some instructions on installing custom kernels in: www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/#using-kernel-installed-in-the-vm. I don't really need a new kernel - I just want to be able to compile the modules - but this looks like a possible way out for me. So I did cloned the fedora-29 template and:
qvm-prefs <clonetemplatename> virt_mode hvm qvm-prefs <clonetemplatename> kernel '' unfortunately now the cloned template does not start - so I cannot continue with the instructions at the doc linked above. When I change the kernel back to '4.14.103-1' it works fine. -- ZL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
