fresh qubes-builder minimal templates = Terminal not starting

[n1ete]

i created today 3 minimal templates for qubes.
centos-7, f29 and an debian stretch one...

they all appear to start fine but the xterm window doesnt show up on all of them.
my first instant thought that something at the builder script went wrong....even after reread template applications nothing changed...

except on the stretch template: after rereading the applications, uxterm was added and is also showing up when i start it from the menu
this lead me to the assumption that building went in general fine and something else is broken....

.xsession-error log shows no errors expect for some scaling issues
but mainly after an "qvm-run -a centos-7-minimal xterm"

i see
"
centos-7-minimal: Starting GUI
centos-7-minimal: Sending monitor layout
"

help for debbuging this and pointing me into the right direction is greatly appreciated ;)

[unman]

run qvm-run with -p flag, and you may see something useful.

Or qvm-start centos-7-minimal, and then attach to console using
'sudo xl console centos-7-minimal' - log in as root,' su - user', and then
start running commands and checking output and logs.

unman

thanks for the hint attaching to the console....login as root needs a password and i didnt set yet any... i could mount the root fs and chroot into it to set one but did i forgott something when building these templates? any recommended procedure to set one?

[unman]

You dont have passwordless-root package installed.
Much easier to qvm-run -u root passwd

[n1ete]

thank you so much....
you think thats it? so i integrate the passwordless-root in my building process and it should work?

if i do on dom0 a "qvm-run -u root centos-7-minimal passwd" it doesnt return anything...and stuck there with a blinking cursor like any "qvm-run" command

[unman]

You want to intercat with the passwd command, so of course you need -p;
qvm-run -p -u root <qube> passwd

[n1ete]

yeah your right, figured that out a bit later...unfortunatly nothing happens after execution the cursor just sits there like the programm (passwd) is open but i cant see nothing on dom0...i have to ctrl+c out and get some python traceback shown in dom0 terminal.

cant see in the build logs folder any passwordless sudo meta package but found some other errors in all of the template building logs could this be related to my error?

"
-> Installing core RPM packages...

"

btw. any easy way to copy+paste logs from dom0 or do i have to copy the files first in a lower lvl domain?

[n1ete]

so i put another few hours into troubleshooting and managed to remove some build errors trough solving dependencies, tried the 4.0 and 4.1 stable sources,but still no luck....

so i missed obviously something at the building process?!

Even if the paswordless sudo setup has to be done on minimal templates, i should be able to see and work with a terminal on a fresh created template with qubes-builder i guess?

thanks in advance ;)
