"Failed to save domain" when trying to create Whonix DisposableVMs.

Good day,

I’ve been trying to create Whonix Disposable VMs based on, Qubes Disposables but there is a problem I encounter with the very first step when typing

qvm-create-default-dvm whonix-ws

in the dom0 terminal. I get (skipped some lines):

Connecting to VM’s GUI agent: …connected
Waiting for DVM whonix-ws-dvm …
/qubes-used-mem
Disk detached successfully

DVM book complete, memory used=509576. Saving image…

error: Failed to save domain whonix-ws-dvm to /var/lib/qubes/appvms/whonix-ws-dvm/dvm-savefile
error: internal error: Failed to save domain ‘11’ with libxenlight

How can I fix this?

Thx,

–Jeff

Oh, you’re right! Sorry for not taking the time to read the rules!

Edit: DispVM start error - error: internal error: Failed to save domain '30' with libxenlight · Issue #2482 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub

Apparently this issue has not been fixed yet so I’ll have to wait for Qubes 4 :slight_smile:
