After a restart where my whole box was getting slow for some reason I am now having trouble starting up my personal appvm. The only error i got was that the appvm was not able to open and to look at the log. I tried looking at the log and i thought part of the error was related to an unclean umount but I am wholly unsure about that. I have uploaded the log here and am really hoping someone can make more sense of it than I can… and has an idea how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance.

Hi there.
It would be best to give exactly the error message you see… But it is good to provide the log file!
I think there are many log items for “Job qubes-relabel-rw.service/start”, but no message for the service finished.
If the template was updated then sometimes the selinux relabel processing can take a long time… and the startup reaches a timeout.
Try in a Dom0 terminal to run: qvm-prefs $vm_name qrexec_timeout
If the value is equal to the delay you see before the startup error then make the value longer: qvm-prefs $vm_name qrexec_timeout 3600
Then start the qube. Notice how much time it takes before the qube shows started.
If there is success, then you can change the value again to the original value…
…and please tell us, and say how much time for the qube startup.

First, sorry I guess the exact error would have been helpful huh?
Second, thank you for the line to give, I ran it and it was 60 - which is the amount of time that passed before the error would show up; then for sh*ts and giggles I tried running the vm again… and it worked, forget that i tried 4-5 times before with no success. I guess one will have issues sometimes that can only be resolved by trying to show someone… and then it works.
Thanks again!
