Did you really need tinyproxy in the target template? It should be
needed only in your netvm... Or are you saying that tinyproxy
was missing in your netvm?

it was red in my fed24 minimal journalctl.
after i installed it, it went away.... (currently most things i am doing are 
kind of blind since i never done any sysadmin stuff before qubes and don't 
really know what i am doing)

i tried it again without the package and it worked.
this time i only needed to install sudo. (file was not necessary)

now it still does not work...
the journalctl contains no really useful information (at least noting i can 
understand as something useful

the only thing looking like some kind of error was (the test template is a 
clone of minimal and is called a):

Jan 22 00:25:20 a qubes.VMShell-disp-mgmt-a[1192]: WARNING: Unable to locate 
current thin  version: /var/tmp/.root_62a99a_salt/version.
Jan 22 00:25:22 a qubes.VMShell-disp-mgmt-a[1324]: WARNING: Unable to locate 
current thin  version: /var/tmp/.root_62a99a_salt/version.

the folder '/var/tmp/.root_62a99a_salt' does exist, but it is empty

Have you cleaned QubesIncoming directory after failed attempt?

no i did not. and finally it works!


This suggests you have not:
Jan 22 00:25:21 a qrexec-agent[465]: executed root:QUBESRPC
qubes.Filecopy disp-mgmt-a pid 1254
(...)
Jan 22 00:25:21 a qrexec-agent[465]: pid 1254 exited with 17

17 is EEXIST (File exists).

Looking at all the troubles this caused, we should fix it somehow -
either automatically remove before uploading the file (as in case of
failure, it isn't removed after that attempt), or upload a file with a
unique name. The later will be safer (do not remove any file without
explicit user consent).


that would be good (and i would also be for using some unique id (e.g. seconds 
since epoch) since i am no fan of stuff deleting files)

also it would be nice if the min template would contain the sudo package (or 
rather all packages required of a minion to be configured via salt), since 
other users will probably run in the same problems (at least one already has)
especially since salt is supposed to become the default config tool for vms. 
(at least this is my current goal)

thanks for all your help!

tomorrow i will try to get the last things running and after that i will start 
writing a guide.
