Can't build out HVM

User Support
1

OK, so I am trying to copy over my iso to dom0 in terminal in dom0 to build out. With
"qvm-run -p where downloaded 'cat /from domain
I keep geting file not found but I am looking rigth at it in my domain where I downloaded it too.

So I then do the hole
Qubes tools>Create Qubes vm (the hole process) change memory size, hard drive sizes.
Attach iso via Qubes settings
The iso launches I get to where I can install the iso BUT then once initiated I get from the installer… NO Hard drive found…

Now i am taking screen shots from dom0 so I can show you all these stuff…

Well after my screenshots I need to copy over to my domain so I can upload here BUT when I run in terminal in dom0…
qvm-copy-to-vm vm screenshot

I get error…

sh: zenity: command not found

WTH…

Hi there.
You don’t need boot your HVM from dom0…
Boot it directly from downloaded file in the AppVM You get it.
Cheers,

Is your destination vm based on a minimal template by any chance?

Here I will type what I get…
I need to copy it over to dom0 so I can install iso
qvm-run -p VM ‘cat /home/user/ isoname’ > isoname

Gives me this error
Traceback (most recent call last)
File “/usr/bin/qubes-vmexec”, line 5, in

I can see it in my domain even the iso size.

@mila Yes, I know this but I want to install it so that I don’t have to keep launching the domain it is downloaded to. I can run it fully from iso. When I type to install it from the installer inside the iso even after I have the hvm setup, you know (memory,hard drive size increased…all of that) The iso install is not seeing the Hard drive as it will kick back " no hard drive to partition or setup"

@BEBF738VD No, this is the latest “Android” Bliss v11.14 with kernal 5.10.32

I had Android Bliss v11.13 kernal 4.19.xx (don’t remember install) and deleted it yesterday after I donwloaded and verified tis one. So I know it’s legit. I just can’t move to dom0 or install it anyway I try…

BLiss v11.14 5.10.32k
Size…1.6 Gb

I have screenshots of this and can’t move from dom0 to VM so I can upload for all of you too see…

in dom0 terminal i type and get this error…

qvm-copy-to-vm vault screenshot.xx.xx.xx.

I get error

sh: zenity: command not found
it’s either EOF or E0F

6

I’m referring to the destination vm of your screenshot:

Is your vault qube based on a minimal template?
Whatever the answer is, you can install the zenity package in that template to fix that issue.

7

@BEBF738VD No I only use full templates

destination is
from dom0 to vault vm

How would I reinstall zenity?
Indom0 or fedora 36

8

It should already be installed in that template. Can you try the same command on a different vm, like a disposable?

9

NOPE,same error
from dom0 to disp5430
sh: zenity: command not found
it’s either EOF or E0F

10

disp vm based on fedora 36

11

In dom0 run:

$ qvm-run -p -u root fedora-36 'dnf install -y zenity'
$ qvm-shutdown --wait fedora-36

Then open a new disposable and try to copy the screenshot there.

12

ok, hang on

13

dom0 kicked back this
after i ran this

$ qvm-run -p -u root fedora-36 'dnf install -y zenity'

14

tried again to copy
from dom0 to disp6114

same thing again
sh: zenity: command not found
it’s either EOF or E0F

15

Weird. What’s the output of

$ qvm-prefs disp5430 template

If you closed disp5430, open a new one and change the command.

Also, is the sh: zenity: command not found error white or red?

16

Good morning,

Well that disp5430 is gone, I closed it out late yesterday.

As for your question about is… sh: zenity: command not found error white or red?
It is white BUT the
E0F i… RED

17

Launched another dispvm this morning and run your cmd…disp2564

What’s the output of

$ qvm-prefs disp2564 template

I get…whonix-ws-16-dvm

18

You have a space in the path - that’s why you get “no such file”

19

zenity is installed in Whonix templates.
It isnt installed in dom0

20

@ unman, understand about “zenity” now

I can not copy from dom0 to domains or from domains to dom0
I still get that error when running
qvm-run -p Storage ‘cat /home/user/xxx.iso’ > xxx.iso
