So, I updated using current testing yesterday, and there was an update to qubes core dom0 and other changes..
Network worked fine before I shutdown my machine, but now when I try to start sys-net I get an error saying "Not enough memory to start domain 'sys-net'"
I have tried rebooting, and I have tried upscaling and downscaling the initial memory to sys-net with qvm-prefs sys-net memory XX
I can start my templateVM's with no issue (eg fedora-26 which is my template for sys-net/sys-firewall, and I have tried starting my debian 9 template).
What can I do :S
Needless to say it is pretty fatal for me that I have no network.
Thanks in advance.
Can you give me specific instructions to where I can do these things :S
Sorry!
I know there is something in the grub config for dom0 memory management, is it that?
Where do I find xentop?
I can see in /var/log/xen/console/hypervisor.log that it complains about "initial memory low", but I dunno if that's new..
I tried awokds recommendations:
switching template to debian yields same message about memory being too low.
virt_mode already is hvm.
Thanks for your time and help.
Sorry, I didn't release xentop was a tool like top/htop...
My laptop has 8gb of RAM, Qubes has reserved 4gb to dom0 through grub config.
Xentop says that approx. 3.8gb is free.
So I really don't think the issues lies there.
Can I disable it through qvm-prefs? Because my qubes manager (the GUI is back again now) is broken..
Sorry.
Which setting exactly disables dynamic memory allocation, because I can't seem to figure it out. If I set maxmem to 0, will it disable it?
The GUI is broken. It comes up with an error if I try to start it, no matter how I try to start it. It complains about a bug, but that isn't really important right now.
Okay!
I set the maxmem to 1 (cannot set it to 0) and initial mem to 800.
sys-net starts now.
I am updating my system now, hopefully this will disappear on its own.
Any deeper insight as to the 'why'?
I am kind of confused..
Without your guys' suggestions I would have been lost..
Thanks a bunch!
