[qubes-users] Whonix Tor Browser 13.0.15 is very slow starting

2024-05-23 Thread Ulrich Windl

Hi!


With the current updates Tor Browser in Whonix takes very long to 
display a local file 
(file:///usr/share/doc/homepage/whonix-welcome-page/whonix.html).


The Browser Console had to say:

[qubes-users] qubes-app-menu[70878]: IndexError: list index out of range

2024-05-23 Thread Ulrich Windl

Hi!


As the Qubes Template Manager told me there are upgradable templates 
available (even though my templates were upgraded/updated in-place), I 
downloaded those gigabytes and waited a long time until the templates 
were installed (why is that so slow, BTW?)


At the end of that process, the templates were outdated regarding the 
current updates (I had installed the updates in my templates before the 
manager replaced them), so I ran updates again for all the templates.


As a check, I wanted to run the updater again, an at that moment I 
noticed this error in the journal:

And I realized that one of my VMs not uses "qubes-app-menu[70878]: 
IndexError: list index out of range" as windows title where there should 
be the VM name, I guess.


Kind regards,

Ulrich

[qubes-users] Issue with shutdown; is it mdmon@.service?

2024-05-23 Thread Ulrich Windl

Hi!


I had reported some time ago that Qubes OS hangs quiote some time (1 min 
30 sec) on shutdown. It seems some process isn't terminating properly.


For some time I noticed this message in the journal:

systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/mdmon@.service:28: Unit configured 
to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process 
lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use 
a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'. Support for 
KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed.


Could it be related? I have two Intel Matrix Storage Manager (IMSM) 
RAIDs on my machine, and one RAID used LVM and an encryped partition 
that is not used by Qubes OS...



Kind regards,

Ulrich

[qubes-users] Issues with new "Block Device widget

2024-05-23 Thread Ulrich Windl

Hi!


I discovered two issues with the new widget for block devices in Qubes 
OS 4.2.1:


1) The icon looks as if "greyed-out", while it seems to be working

2) I have a partitioned USB stick that only worked if the whole device 
was added to a qube (never investigated what the problem was); however 
the current widget does no longer have the whole device listed.


Instead there are some odd entries (I didn't manage to make a screenshot 
showing that menu).



Kind regards,

Ulrich

[qubes-users] Issues updating qubes (Qubes OS 4.2.1 (R4.2))

2024-05-23 Thread Ulrich Windl

Hi!

When trying to update qubes today, I had two unexpected issues so far:

1) Whonix Worksattion 17 caused this syslog message:

dom0 qubesd[5091]: vm.whonix-workstation-17: Invalid 'os-eol' value '', 
expected -MM-DD


Otherwise the update worked fine.

2) Updating Debian-12 caused thise message:

Updating debian-12
Refreshing package info
Refreshing packages.
Fail to refresh InRelease: https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm 
InRelease from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/InRelease


The issue is that the update process just seems to hand indefinitely, 
even after having pressed "Cancel updates".



Also the messages shown in the updater are not "refreshed realtime", so 
maybe some messages are pending (buffered), but cannot be seen.


I don't know whether that can be fixed easily, but it would be nice to 
see messages as they are created.



Kind regards,

Ulrich
