Hi, could someone kindly explain me how to change the template of the
default dvm (or similarly, add a second one). I tried several
explanations online, but none worked. I prefer to understand the
procedure via dom0 terminal commands, but if you have a "click you
through" solution, I take it as well. Cheers, Bernhard

Hi,

you can use qvm-prefs [vm] template [new template].

Hi,

you can use qvm-prefs [vm] template [new template].

Say that I have a template called debian-12 and I run

 qvm\-prefs denian\-12 template debian\-12\-dvm

That gives

usage: qvm\-prefs \[\-\-verbose\] \[\-\-quiet\] \[\-\-help\] \[\-\-help\-properties\]

[--hide-default] [--get] [--set]

 \[\-\-default\] VMNAME \[PROPERTY\] \[VALUE\]

 qvm\-prefs: error: no such property: 'template'

That is where I was stuck with the manual .... best, Bernhard

It's probably the other way around:

qvm-prefs debian-12-dvm template debian-12

alright, this works (after shutting down all instances of the dvm)

qvm-prefs default-dvm template debian-12

thank you. Bernhard
