Hello,

suddenly I could not start the Disposal VM.

I recreated it with the command:

[joanna@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm <custom-template-name>

and now all is fine again.

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/dispvm-customization/

But why this will happen?
(I thought it always will go back to the initial "snapshot", so no infection should be persistent?

Kind Regards

It could just be it crashes cause I leave it on one cpu only, and watching many porn videos at the same time. and maybe something about it crashing. I dunno....lol

I should also state, that this is on a machine i dual boot on, and which doesn't have iommu... curious if that is the case for you too? Its never happened to me on another machine which does have iommu and only boots qubes.

Although, seems to have happened to a bunch of people lately, so maybe it had to do with recent updates, the latest qubes, or fedora? Could also be the lesser cpu and ram and hdd speed causing it? Although its happened to me multiple times on said machine.

I dunno just throwing ideas out there, I'll stop spamming now.

I also just wanna say its only happened to me only when crashing after watching porn. Never any other time.

Hello,

my QR31 system is quite fresh and I opened only google-search and afterwards the DVM was gone (and I must refresh the DVM snapshot to get it reanimated).

Kind Regards
