No expert, but try: sudo yum remove qubes-template-whonix-ws then sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community \ qubes-template-whonix-ws You might have tried this but I had to do the whonix reinstall myself Source: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/

Do you just want a fresh copy of whonix? If so I would recommend deleting the old copy (qvm-remove) and then installing it again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

I have one more idea: The Vixen patch could be useful for VMs with PCI devices. Memory balooning is not supported there anyway. QEMU in dom0 looks ugly, but this case is a bit different: AFAIU, the attacker can directly talk to QEMU if and only if she has escaped from PV. Maybe it is not nice,
