I’m new to KVM and I was trying to set it up. After following the instructions, I get this error message. I did extract the qcow images on an external drive since my host machine doesn’t have much space. Not sure if that would effect anything since I moved them as in the instructions for KVM. Any idea?

Thank you! This may be a dumb question, but what is the command to edit the xml files? Everything I’ve tried just shows the file as empty and no lines to remove. I tried sudo edit /etc/apt/Whonix-Gateway-XFCE-15.0.1.3.9.xml for example.
Now the only issue I’m having is that after I resize the VMs, the tool bar is on top instead of bottom and it doesn’t show the little Tor globe so I know I’m connected to Tor. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. I’m brand new to KVM.
Yes so the xfce toolbar and the start menu is set to show on top of the window. If you want to change that you can look at the general xfce settings. @Patrick any idea where we set that (if we do)?
As for the Tor globe you won’t see it in TBB in Whonix by design so this info isn’t leaked to attackers in the WS.
Thanks. I was referring to the little green globe in the right corner once it connects. Im just curious because it shows there in virtual box, but not on KVM.
I tried searching for your error but I can’t find anything helpful. Try sticking with stable on the host for a better experience. Some years back I was running testing because it had newer packages and had some close calls for reinstalling my system because an update fucked something up like crippling DE startup. I saw some random bugs show up then go away on their own during the release cycle and so went with stable for a more predictable workflow.
Hello I installed KVM Whonix on a new machine and for some reason I can’t edit the files using virsh. It won’t let me remove the lines so I can start the vms. Any idea why? My host is Kali.
