Generally, booting the installer is more reliable in some cases, since it doesn't rely on dom0 being in any usable state. But since that may be inconvenient at times, you can get shell in initramfs using 'rd.break' on the kernel cmdline. Or, if you just want to avoid staring any VM, use 'qubes.skip_autostart' option. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEhrpukzGPukRmQqkK24/THMrX1ywFAmIB1XAACgkQ24/THMrX 1yyvdQf7B5DOOpr+BcEJv1l2rUPyXHEmbpNm/ird6SnTpyqso9ljwQq7NsQBLCcH JpWnllx1FWgzHtikhOojHXIhvUesRyWBbzmo+k6c2N6WK8Bbym7FbcdtkbIDEMHO fTXhR+Osr6cAfoQJUiyp0wfG5hzFUAM1mDTi8vlXEcNa02zEH7IQqsLAhO8Zl30z 3X6qTx+3v5aLxqCI3ZaD2TEBnGWzOowZutGSsAtgA5lGtflwmQeaBglVmXYLbbLX iKu1pvWLDA8dr8+mYu0xaAFTAVoNn9DfTfD1An/YHMtLATmEdQF3v0rdtpbohA2N HBsmOAjkPP8HyjQ4981ngcXqeQ5gIQ== =uemw -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.

[qubes-devel] systemd rescue mode vs qubes root account locked
hi, recently I had some hw issues which I needed to debug so I tried booting with systemd rescue mode (by appending systemd.unit=rescue.target to the kernel cmdline) but that failed because the root account is locked on Qubes. So I'm wondering what is the recommended resuce mode for Qubes? booting the installer in rescue mode or setting a root password or??? -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ This is the year of gpg on the desktop!
