I recently made a fedora 30 based standalone VM so i wouldnt have to
goop up my templates with some employer-required programs.

It was working fine for a day or two but earlier today I sat down and
wasnt able to start any programs up in this standalown vm?
I hhave tried from the appfinder menu nada. from the "run command in
qube" option in the qubes manager, nada. and from a dom0 terminal
"qvm-run -u root StandaloneVM xterm", nada.

The vm will start up, and I am able to update it via the update option
but i cant seem to open any application in this VM. As this is for work
I really do need to access it but am not sure what to try next?

Prueva en modo PV en vez de HVM.

Thanks,
gave it a try and either i am misunderstanding the command or something
else?

[sam@dom0 ~]$ sudo xl console miffed
miffed is an invalid domain identifier (rc=-6)

No problem; did you see my reply? Miffed has to be powered on first.

sorry, i guess i missed your email.

I tried with miffed turned on and it certainly gave different output
(alot of it) though i cant say I am able to make much of it (a few
"errors" and "failed" in there but not sure if those are the problem. Is
this something that i shouold send or put on a pastebin?
