-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Very recently I migrated all my AppVMs to a debian-10 (buster) template, which itself was created by upgrading the debian-9 template.
Equally my sys-net, sys-usb and sys-firewall dispvms are based on a debian-10-minimal, which was upgraded from the debian-9-minimal. There was one little hick-up with the qubes-update-proxy (tinyproxy), but unman quickly pointed out what needed to be done. Now I have only 2 things left that don't work as before: 1) Currently I can't backup. I never tried the CLI way and will do so soon. Until now I always used the qubes manager. However, since my sys-usb is based on the minimal debian-10 template ... it doesn't work anymore. When I want to make a backup I simply get a message that the backup is not running. Also, in both cases (making and restoring backup) the dialog that lets me select target/source doesn't show up anymore after clicking the "..." button. I searched qubes-users and qubes-issue and did install the qubes-core-admin-client in the template but that alone doesn't do the trick. What could my next step be? Which log file to check? Any idea what could be missing? (If I switch back to the fedora-minimal based sys-usb it works). 2) When selecting what to backup I am used to see sys-net(0), sys-usb(0) and sys-firewall(0) and exclude them. They are of size zero as they are named disposable vms. However now I see both sys-net and sys-firewall having a size (~30 MB slowly increasing day by day !?!) But they are of class DispVM and are based on dvm-sys which in turn is based on the minimal debian template. What could be going on here? Why am I doing this? ... over the last few months I have formed the impression that some of the more knowledgeable contributors on qubes-users (e.g. unman and tasket) prefer debian. And I do get annoyed be the super frequent updates of fedora. So I thought I'd try out to switch everything to debian in the hope that I would then have templates that can stay in use for many months if not years before I need to switch again (I went through fedora 24-29 since using qubes). Also another person with linux background said something about the debian package format being better and more secure against man-in-the-middle attacks (haven't researched that claim myself yet). If anyone has information to confirm or disabuse me of the above impressions, I am all ears. Thank you! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE18ry22WNibwI1qeq2m4We49UH7YFAlygWcYACgkQ2m4We49U H7ZhABAA4gEFBVqImM+Xr7yjHKqJ1NC+kJez7yBUSxxPfRPoZhzoFuRJxlsSrit4 Bkglan0auyqDWQLaUjMwy3NWJQpxvBQuv/1HpQN1q3FuZoKw0giCT1ZkZ+FhvOwv UsjmyiXdOmPSCXeejDLAhuwX1ZmUEV1JuLxAnexswEMe1QZV1N8Qa1DwwFG5XoEw SXYLXKgZceTT/OQXh8CZhiKCAEKEOX38U86w0OXVdNH4oSPcoLy14MAXa0WlDukk 7QXeh4kPfsOx9hWxtQMKJ3Lyw4kxZoTvXFOGzUx94WyGRuuTQpru8CQJywAdM0Xe sTbOmxyQAeH5ABY9ZUsO/I4BTq34uSpLEFDirNQ7FnK+vcG2MwdjnSP7xdDR1Iom Hw4sRhvlnJzWxFuZVoT2F2dLKnNd833d6zy4xyiy2h0LkHETDyo4Oprp5uVDrJPk 1J43eZHBdHF+YjAREwC1/JPkfbGWOx1q5KpVE3TtQpOf82kLjJNWBqaERyEY1J/e QAAnRPbXI1LNUYazOkJ1Qv992gsyglHPDqdQtl+g8bKudRznvdoEr+kLyn1uduF9 A7IUT1Ctk+NVyA7N9msjSCdzPiANCIdMddqL94zvpRuSaRTK7qRUN7z5fspt3XZb 3NPvTTh0hRinNh7c1rrzLdnJfb/0QDl9bX6touxhuOOdkYwAgAE= =Ujwj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
