Whenever I try to attach an ISO to a VM, I receive an error: “internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain”.
I have tried running different commands on Qubes. Disabling AppArmor doesn’t work, and starting xendriverdomain.service doesn’t work, because it’s not even installed. Some suggest getting xen-hvm-stubdom-linux (or they call it vmm-xen-stubdom-linux), but I don’t even know how to get it. I’ve tried downgrading libvirt, but all my packages are already at the lowest possible level.

Should I update libvirt, install new drivers, or reinstall the hypervisor?

First of all - which Qubes version?
Where is the ISO you want to attach - in dom0, or in some other VM?
Also, take a look at /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for some
details.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

I run Qubes 3.2. Where is the ISO you want to attach - in dom0, or in some other VM?
I put the ISO in another VM, sys-net.
I took a look at /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for some details.
The log looked like this:

Apparently the log is the same for every different ISO I try.

What does the text in the error log mean?
