10:13i followed the instructions in here but do not have a qvm-create-windows-qube command in dom0; the installation seemed to go fine but gave me the UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURED, EXITING message towards the end of the initial install. Not sure what to do

tl;dr the script worked but didn’t work and I’m not too sure what to do now. I’m trying to get a windows 10 HVM online but it isn’t working out thus far. I just wanna play some KOTOR lol

What do I do?

Everything now works. Turns out you need to set netvm and dom0 update vm to sys-firewall to make this work. My settings used sys-whonix to do updates initially.

Per Thierry: “The install.sh in this case should not use sys-whonix to call gpg to receive the public key of kellick”

Once we switched off of sys-whonix, the script works.
