2 years ago Similar situation happened to me once when Qubes OS root ran out of free space and /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml got destroyed. If that's the case then just restore latest backup from /var/lib/qubes/backup and you,ll be fine.
[EDIT] The way I found out my qubes.xml got destroyed is by looking at 'journalctl | grep error' (and using some other nasty words in place of 'error') to find what exactly goes wrong at startup.

2 years ago I ended up doing fresh install and restoring from backup. How can I prevent on the next go around? After restore I'll try again.

2 years ago Did you install from the latest release or from Master? I'm happy to run a test fresh install for you today to test the code paths, although still believe this was a qubes.xml corruption issue.
On the install you have, can you please provide the output of 'df' in dom0?

2 years ago I've run 1.Base install script, moved to 2.Network and receive this error:
ERROR: core-dvm NOT FOUND, PLEASE RUN BASE INSTALL
as a test, I created a DVM named core-dvm and tried to rerun the script, only to get this error message:
ERROR: core-xorg NOT FOUND, PLEASE RUN BASE INSTALL
and when I attempt to uninstall BASE, it shows multiple errors that there are no such domains as core-xorg, core-keys, etc. and on a reattempt to reinstaall, I receive the following: qvm-template: error: Template 'debian-11-minimal' not found. I unpacked the latest release again to attempt a reinstall, but received an error that "vm-debian-core-root" already exists so it aborted

Definitely not a free disk space issue (which caused metadata corruption once for me). I'll now check my commits to lib.sh since last release to see what can cause ill side effects.

2 years ago Hopefully fixed by commit #e9b0886861aa46ba4cc4469c1488ed4694304ef1 pushed a minute ago. A pretty silly bug causing every created qube to be called 'core-sound'. Base installer was not touched for a while now so I expect no other surprises for you. And thanks for your patience!

Success. Using litequbes as my base system now. Please let me know if I might assist with further testing.
I ran the install script within 1.Base, then attempted to run the install script from 2.Network, but received an error saying the disposable qvm wasn't installed. I rebooted the machine. Now I cannot access any VM, any dom0 application other than terminal, and the base uninstall script threw an error. I'm unable to use my system. Qvm-start from dom0 yields endless errors. Short of a fresh install, what are my options to recover my system?
