Unable to resize VM Template disk size

[chipp...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I am fairly new to QUBES, as I have only just installed QUBES 4.0 and have been learning the OS. I initally installed QUBES 3.x (last RC), and immediately installed QUBES 4.0. I have had several problems.

My motherboard is a supermicro X8DAL-3, (2) XEON L5638 with 48 Gb of RAM. 250GB SSD hard drive.

I have attempted to run the command: qvm-volume extend personal:root 30000000000 in the template VM Fedora-26.

The error I receive is "Command not found"

I've had similar errors when trying to install packages to the template VMs.

Request some guidance in achieving success in re sizing disk space in the personal VM -

Thank you in advance for any help / guidance.

Cheers,
Chip

Right command, but maybe running it in the wrong place. See
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/resize-disk-image/. You want to do those
qvm-volume commands from dom0 terminal with the VM/template shut down
instead of inside a template. You can also go to VM Settings on the VM you
want to resize and increase it using the GUI.

Awokd,
I followed your guidance, had one other minor issue (of my own doing) and was able to get past the hiccup. I really appreciate your assistance. Thank you -
My goal is to become comfortable with QUBES and its functionality before implementing it completely. Baby steps. Next I will be working on installing software into the templates so it is available in the VMs. Then implementing a VPN, Then I will be creating a Windows 7 VM. Baby steps...
Have a Great Day!!
