Hi there beautiful community,

5 months user here.
I think i have figured Qubes out enough to use it as my main OS but still i'm so noob.
I have been trying to move my monero wallet to Qubes from windows as well and there is no good documentation about it.... just like any other thing about Qubes.

So i have found this guide :

https://github.com/0xB44EFD8751077F97/monero-site/blob/3e6f4fa28b7b834a7049ee45edc294ff1c026565/resources/user-guides/cli_wallet_daemon_isolation_qubes_whonix.md

I have followed every step and managed to setup everything EXCEPT running and synchronizing MONEROD ( monero blockchain )

This is the error that i'm getting :

If any of the users of this community have this software or using this wallet for XMR can help me, that'd be highly appreciated.

If not, no worries.

Have a good day.
King Regards.

Greetings

Can you confirm which Qubes version you're using?
Is there anything in the logs?
Can you check memory allocated and also free space with df ?

It looks as if LMDB wants 2G space, and if this is in ~ you'll need to
allocate more space for /rw

Hello,
I use the monero gui in a clean fedora-25 template succesfully. However i use a remote daemon for the gui because of the cpu power and storage space (50gb+) needed. Are you trying to sync locally?

Yeah, I'd agree with Giulio. I too use the daemon so I don't have to dedicate a ton of disk space to the blockchain.

Qubes 3.2

Logs are normal except can't run monerod like stated above.

Tried to change private storage max to 122880 MB.

Yes that's what i'm trying to do. Well trying to enjoy the best security possible with local daemon and traffic through TOR.

I too have followed this guide. I figured out how to enlarge the monerod-ws vm available space (for blockchain storage) by enlarging the volume thru dom0:

sudo qvm-volume extend monerod-ws:private 80GB

You can confirm it worked in the monerod-ws by checking with df-h command and confirming the that /dev/xvdX mounted on /rw changed.

My issue now is getting using the setup. Is one supposed to relaunch monero-wallet-ws after completing the guide and interact with the wallel thru the ususal ./monero-cli-wallet? When I do this I get the

"Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon: http://localhost:18081. Daemon either is not started or wrong port was passed. Please make sure daemon is running or change the daemon address using the 'set_daemon' command"

Any ideads?
