tech support: qubes error when cpu pinning or updating two questions if you have the answer to just one thats great ) I followed this guide forum.qubes-os.org/t/…/17949  now no vms work i get this error "failed to start logical volume “vm-sys-usb-volatile” already exist in volume group “qubes dom0” (vm sys usb volatile is just an example) also gui is buggy (slow and not appearing where it should be) and clicking doesnt register (not a external mouse) and logging in/out is super long but this happened before cpu pinning and just happens after updating it works fine on fresh install before updating

  • Your link doesn’t work, but just from the looks of it, you have a volume that is already attached to a VM, and you’re trying to use it elsewhere?

    Are you sure QubesOS is the correct distribution for you?

    Learn linux like everybody first, install an easier distro like debian or mint, play with that. After a few months delete everything and reinstall domething else. Keep data on external disk to not loose it. This is the way to learn. Do not learn to unicycle before knowing how to walk.

    Hey I see you are trying out Qubes! But I think you got sucked down a bit of a rabbit hole here. CPU pinning is a very deep customization, it is absolutely not necessary, and is a case of the author of the guide wondering “can I do this?” and finding out that yes, there is a way. But I would suggest that you not worry about it, as the difference in performance may not even be noticeable to you. The best way to approach qubes as a new user is to do almost nothing to modify dom0, and do all your playing around in the qubes.

    You probably shouldn’t be running qubes, either because your hardware isn’t up to it or because you aren’t up to it. Nothing wrong with not being up to it. That’s a weird operating system that’s basically a research project. It’s just about like saying you daily drive 9front.
