I installed a new SSD in my laptop, so I created a backup of my old one and tried to restore it into a fresh install of Qubes R4.0.1 (the old system was Qubes R4.0).
I'm receiving errors when I try to restore from the backup - 'Error restoring VM: empty response from qubesd - check journalctl for details'. I first tried restoring all VM's in the backup, before trying just 'sys-net' and 'fedora-29' I have run the restore in 'verify only' mode and it passes. I checked journalctl, and I can see some python tracebacks: The first error is regarding sys-net: "AttributeError: 'TemplateVM' object has no attribute '_qubesprop_kernel'" followed by: 'TemplateVM' object has no attribute: '_qubesprop_kernel' followed by: 'Qubes' object has no attribute 'qubesprop_default_kernel' followed by: property 'default_kernel' have no default I checked out the global system settings, which at indicates my new systems default kernel is '4.14.74-1'. There was another error also, while processing fedora-29: "'Template VM' object has no attribute '_qubesprop_kernel'" followed by: "'Template VM' object has no attribute 'template'" followed by "'Qubes' object has no attribute: 'qubesprop_default_kernel'" I'm not sure where to begin with fixing this, but I'm really glad I still have the original drive :) One thing to note is in the reboot-and-setup phase I and clicked "Don't configure anything". Could my new system be missing configuration settings, or are the python errors related to the contents of the backup? I checked this because first time, I accepted the defaults and found it hard to remove the colliding VM's. I think I'll try installing again and letting qubes do some of that configuration and see how that goes. I notice the other similar sounding report seems to be due to the passphrase, and perhaps is not related to my issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
