Unable to start VM after renaming in Qubes Manager

[joonas....@openmailbox.org]

Hello,

it looks like I got hit by a severe problem that prevents me from starting an appvm

I searched the bugtracker and it looks like:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2054

I also renamed a VM and it no longer starts.

The folder under
/var/lib/qubes/appvms/oldname
is still present.

What is the easiest way to get access to the data stored in that VM?

thanks!

The data is stored in the private.img file in that folder.

You can either create a new qube, and then attach the file:
qvm-block -A <new> dom0:/var/lib/qubes/appvms/oldname /private.img
then mount /dev/xvdi in <new>, and extract the data from
/mnt/home/user
OR: mount the private.img file in dom0 and qvm-copy the data files to some qube.
OR: create a new qube, and copy the private.img file to /var/lib/qubes/appvms/new

Thank you I used the last option and it worked just fine.
