Earlier today I encountered the following error message upon booting up a StandaloneVM

low-disk-space

It was perplexing as I was only using 21GB of the 26GB allotted, but I figured it was something like I encountered with /tmp directory in issue #1191

After searching the mailing list and the docs, I first thought "Resizing Disk Image" was the right thing. I tried a couple of the steps in there to no avail. Then I tried "
Resizing root.img Size" steps and issue fixed. All told this took me about 30 minutes. So, couple ideas:

  • Make the wording in the notification and the documentation better match (i'm doing this right now)
  • Make it relatively intuitive to explain & do these things from the VM's GUI settings

Actually this notification is nothing Qubes specific. It is just standard (gnome?) application installed by default in template.
