Sorry for the misunderstanding. You do not have to (and, indeed, cannot) update your TemplateBasedVMs from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23, since they're Template-based. This means that they don't have a root filesystem (where the OS and programs are stored) of their own. Instead, they get their root filesystem from the TemplateVM on which they're based. As long as your TemplateVMs have been upgraded correctly, your TemplateBasedVMs should work with the upgraded TemplateVMs normally. This page contains more information about how TemplateVMs work: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/ > I'm asking what to do _next_.

Your questions here suggest that you may not have followed the instructions correctly. The procedure, in outline, is this: 1. Upgrade all TemplateVMs and StandaloneVMs. 2. Upgrade dom0. 3. Reboot dom0. (The details of how to perform each step are in the linked documentation page.) The fact that you're now asking whether you should shut down all of your VMs one by one suggests that you may not have followed the above procedure, since rebooting dom0 entails shutting down all of those VMs (but it's also possible that this is just a miscommunication). It's also not clear to me what you mean by "tell them in VM-manager to be fedora-23 not fedora-21 VMs." There isn't really any way to "tell" a TemplateBasedVM to "be" a fedora-21 or fedora-23 VM. The closest thing would be to set a TemplateBasedVM's template to either a fedora-21 or fedora-23 template. If you've just performed an in-place upgrade on a template (from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23) with the intention of using it, then it would indeed make sense to base your AppVM on this newly upgraded template (if it wasn't already). Again, as long as the upgrade has been done correctly, everything should work normally. P.S. - Please keep the list CCed, and please don't top-post. > On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 12:56 PM, Andrew David Wong <[email protected]> > wrote: On 2016-08-15 19:33, [email protected] wrote: >>>> Hi qubes people, >>>> >>>> I have just completed the Qubes 3.0 to 3.1 upgrade process, ending >>>> up, as suggested in the upgrade doc, with getting the new Fedora 23 >>>> template. >>>> >>>> However, I'm not sure where to go from here.
