You dont *need* to get the VM to boot to get at the data.
All the private data in a template based VM is stored in the private.img.

You can get at the data just by mounting the private.img, and looking in
/home.

If I were you I would attach a backup drive, and copy off the files
from /var/lib/qubes/appvms. I would do this in preference to using
qvm-backup, (although once done you can try the backup route also.)

First secure the data.
Then try to get the systems running - or dont bother, and just reinstall
from scratch. If you haven't tried the backup just mount your backup
medium in a qube, mount the private.img files and copy the data cross to
your newly created qubes.

But get the data off the system first.

Good luck

I'm unable to get the guest.log for the VMs off of the laptop, so I've attached 
a screenshot of the log of the most critical VM that i need to rescue.
It appears it is going into emergency mode, but I can't run a terminal or 
anything as qrexec never connects.
The qrexec.log is empty.

Is there any way get this to boot, or to extract a few files from within it to 
dom0?


Have you tried mounting an external drive and then running qvm-backup?

The Guest log for the VMs say the filesystems are read-only.
The fedora template also doesnt boot.

I've rebooted once again to the usb install stick and try to rescue. Again I 
chose option 1 to mount the partition, and when i run chmod /mnt/sysimage, i 
dont get any errors.

>the right track?

If I coud just get these VMs to boot I could get my data off of them and do a 
full reinstall.
Any help would be appreciated.

2017-05-14 Thread qbert177
I went ahead and did fsck, saying yes to all prompts. It went a little crazy 
for a while, then finished. The shutdown command doesnt exist, so i lowered it 
off.
The next boot progressed till it sat at a umts something or other. Another 
poweroff, and the next boot finished.
I'm logged in now, but no VMs will start.
