Or another idea: use `dnf distro-sync --releasever=24`, instead of `dnf upgrade`. Not sure if that helps. > I think it may be possible to use "official" upgrade method, by > switching to pvgrub first: > https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/#using-kernel-installed-in-the-vm > But in practice probably it will be more complex than just following > that instructions... Maybe worth a try? Actually, it looks like it almost works this way, even without switching to pvgrub. The only problem is that we put "3" on kernel cmdline, which forces systemd going into multi-user.target (instead of system-update.target). This can be worked around by putting "systemd.unit=system-update.target" on the template kernel command line ("kernelopts" property) before starting second phase of the upgrade. So the procedure is: 1. Clone fedora-23 template to fedora-24. 2. Start fedora-24, launch terminal 3. Proceed with https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade 4. Triggering a reboot will actually shutdown the template. 5. Add "systemd.unit=system-update.target" to kernel options of the template. 6. Start fedora-24 template. It will fail to connect qrexec daemon, GUI etc. But it will be running and performing the upgrade. Be patient, it will take some time - for me it was about two hours on non-SSD machine. There will be no progress information. 7. When upgrade is completed, template with automatically shutdown itself. When it happens, remove "systemd.unit=system-update.target" from kernel options. 8. Done. I'll look into removing "3" from kernel command line - it would simplify the above instruction (steps 5 and 7 will be unnecessary). - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
