Just played around again with the sun icon, this time starting my whonix-gw
template used for template updates prior, a couple of observations:
Seems to work fine when updating Debian and Fedora 29 templates, at least the
messages I get in the details appear positive, listing the updates/changes,
green check marks, etc....
However when I try to update my whonix14 templates (both -ws and -gw) I get
what appears to be errors. I still don't know how to copy errors from Dom0 to
an appvm but the errors end with:
File"/var...salt...futures import cancelledError
ImportError: No module named concurrent.futures
...
A little back ground on my Qubes...I started using Qubes out of an immediate
need for security and have been backing in to how to use it over the last few
years. I consider myself pretty good but I am still missing what appears to be
basic skills.
How do I check:
/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy
Sorry to ask but can you explain in more detail?
Thanks again Qubes and all those contributing...I really appreciate it! I'll
document what I can using this feature...
No apologies needed! More detail: go to a dom0 prompt (Qubes
menu/Terminal Emulator) then "cat" or "nano" that file. Not sure it's
formally documented somewhere, but if you want your updates to go
through Whonix, confirm the non-commented out lines (ones without a # at
the front) have target=sys-whonix instead of target=sys-net. You might
have the same lines with different targets, but it's only the first one
that matters.
"sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.updates-via-whonix" should set your
templates to update over Whonix, if you see any problems in that file.
You can also edit it manually with "sudo nano
/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy", but copy it somewhere first
so you can revert if you mess up something.
I tested trying to Qubes Update a Debian template with sys-whonix
shutdown, and it failed quickly. Would have expected it to automatically
start sys-whonix like the other update procedures, but at least it
didn't seem to be using sys-net incorrectly! I'll try using it for -ws
or -gw next time. To copy text from dom0, follow item #1 or #3 here:
