[qubes-users] qubes-dom0-update (3.2) failing with error message

2018-03-07 Thread Doug Hill
Hi,

When executing "sudo qubes-dom0-update" in dom0, I'm receiving the
following error:

tar: /var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Dom0 updates dir does not exists: /var/lib/qubes/dom0-updates

I can confirm that the directory does not exist.  I do have a backup of
dom0.  Any pitfalls around restoring dom0?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Be well!

Doug

[qubes-users] AppVM unexpectedly changes kernel

2017-01-16 Thread Doug Hill
Recently two appvms refused to start, reporting that:

VM: VM kernel does not exist: /var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels/4.4.12-9/vmlinuz

Qubes Manager shows the kernel is set to 4.4.38-11.

Using 'qvm-prefs myappvm -s kernel 4.4.38.11' fixed the issue.

The appvm templates are debian-8 and whonix-ws based. Anything I should
be concerned about here?

Thanks!

Yes, gcc looks like the correct verion (I'm on a stock debian-8 template):

user@debian-8-coldkernel:~$ sudo apt install gcc-4.9-plugin-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
gcc-4.9-plugin-dev is already the newest version.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, Marek... The process moved a bit farther along...

Hi,

Running into a problem when runnning "make qubes-guest" on a stock
