What to post in this Qubes-Whonix forum and what not.

[Patrick]

As a rule of thumb:

• Everything that happens “inside” the virtual machines is Qubes-Whonix and belongs into this sub forum.
• Everything that happens “outside” the virtual machine is Qubes and the Qubes help should be consulted.

Some examples:

• EFI → Qubes support
• Errors by by Qubes VM Manager (QVMM) → Qubes support
• libvirtError → Qubes support
• Issues that also apply to Debian based VMs. → Qubes support
• error: Failed to save domain whonix-ws-dvm to /var/lib/qubes/appvms/whonix-ws-dvm/dvm-savefile → Qubes support
• error: internal error: Failed to save domain '11' with libxenlight → Qubes support
• qubes-dom0-update installation issues → Qubes support
• qubesctl issues → Qubes support
• Qubes Updater → Qubes support

• systemcheck → Whonix forum or Qubes-Whonix forum

If you don’t know where to post, throw a dice and do not hesitate to ask either in Qubes-Whonix forum or Qubes support channels. You will be notified if there is a more appropriate place if necessary.

If the reported issue is a general Whonix issue unspecific to Qubes-Whonix the forum thread might be moved to the general Whonix support forum.
