Hello,

Trying to purge all fedora 25 traces (aside from dom0) from my system.

I have started to work my way through the dependencies following this workflow:

1) qvm-remove fedora-25-dvm

2) journalctl -r

3) qvm-prefs --set <QUBE> default_dispvm whonix-ws-dvm

It's kind of annoying that the 'qvm-remove' does not produce the informative error that's redable from 'journalctl' ... but that aside: I'm now stuck with the journalctl information

'Cannot remove fedora-25-dvm, used by Qubes.default_dvm'

and fail to understand/find where that particular property is set, respectively may be changed ...


Thank you for any hints.


Joh

Check qubes-prefs too.

Thought I replied to this earlier. Check qubes-prefs.

I had to reread the thread three times to realize that qvm-prefs and qubes-prefs were different. :)

Indeed ... that is what happened to me too ... after changing the
default dvm for all VMs via 'qvm-prefs' and globally via 'qubes-prefs'
I was able to cull fedora-25 from my installation (other than dom0).

Sincerely, Joh
