Welcome to Qubes. By default templates are limited in what they can do. In particular, they are restricted to accessing the updates proxy that is running in an upstream netvm. This means that you can use tools like apt/dpkg etc but not wget/curl/firefox etc. DNS wont work either. You can read about this here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-vm/ You should only allow networking to a template if it's essential - it rarely is. This is because of a template is compromised then all qubes that use it will be compromised. Don't take that risk. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
