Thank you Angel, for helping me.

me@dom0 qubes]$    find /var/lib/qubes -iname *.xml

finds only some files qubes-*somedate* in backup two xml fies in updates
and qubes.xml itself. When I run in

me@dom0 qubes]$ dom0    qvm-start [some appvm] I get  some lines like


File "/usr/bin/qvm-start, line 136 then 120

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/../000QubesVM.py

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/../006QubesProxyVM.py

qubes.qdb.Error: (2, 'No such file or directory')


and, as I said, nothing starts. I start thinking of a disaster-mode data
recovery since I do not know how I could possibly unbrick a system that
has no network anymore?! I add some history: after having changed to the
.onion repo's,  the fedora24 system suggested 123(!) package updates (I
agreed). That seemed a lot to me, since I check for updates every day.
If I have to guess, it is there that it became a brick. Is it sure that
the f24 on qubes-os.org and the onion repo are the same? Can I unroll
the last update?

Thank you for any hint or help  Bernhard
