Update: An appvm based on the debian-12-minimal template works fine: I’m able to start, restart, and access my zfs filesystem.
My goal is to have an appvm with zfs and ssh-server. I am using 4.2 rc3 with updates
A template based on debian-12-xfce with zfs installed starts and restarts without complaint.
I created a new appvm based on this template using the ‘Create New Qube’ system tool. I verified in the settings that the kernel is set to pvgrub2-pvh. The appvm fails to start with the error message ‘Cannot connect to qrexec agent for 60 seconds: …’
What appears to be the relevant part of the log seems to be that there is an error with libglib-2.0:
