It did, thanks for your help. The funny thing is, [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -p --user root stretch-minimal "usermod -a -G sudo user" didn't work, even after [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -p --user root stretch-minimal "service sudo restart" although 'user' was added to the sudo group as could be seen from user@stretch-minimal:~$ cat /etc/group | grep sudo sudo:x:27:user so I had to edit the sudoers file directly, then restarted the sudo service: [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -p --user root stretch-minimal "service sudo restart" [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -p --user stretch-minimal "service sudo restart" and that worked, so I wrote a little script to more or less automate and explain the process: https://pastebin.com/UcJa0DvC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
