"Normal" Qemu is actually Qemu/KVM, which is not supported on Xen as far as I know. The next best thing is to create an HVM, see https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/standalone-and-hvm/#installing-an-os-in-an-hvm qemu-img-xen is used for formatting image files or block devices for VMs. qemu-nbd-xen is for network block devices, though I'm not sure if/how they're used in Qubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
