[qubes-users] Why is sys-net talking to shed.galexander.org ?
I installed debian-10-minimal template, installed minimal apps to use for sys-net, added iftop, then set sys-net to use minimal template. Almost immediately upon starting sys-net (and nothing else), open an xterm and run iftop, sys-net repeatedly talks to shed.galexander.org What's up with this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Sure, you can add the command to the template, and then the template updates okay, but after that, every time you create a new VM from the template, each VM has the problem again. The template needs to be fixed, and I'm sure they will. In the mean time, I will delete Debian-10, install Debian-9 template, clone to Debian-10, and do a manual update. That will give a better fix for now. Still testing. Whonix gw/ws appear to be fine, but I haven't done much with those yet.

I just reached that point. Downloaded the new ISO, installed okay. Updated each template okay. BTW the above error no longer occurs with the whonix templates. They seem to be fixed now. That's good.

[qubes-users] Re: Installing qubes, new machine.
> there were some random problems ranging from not shutting down I know this is the least of your problems right now, but since you mentioned it, I often had this problem after a fresh install, and finally figured out what is was. If Qubes is aware of available updates, sometimes it refuses to shut down. I literally had to yank the power cord, and remove the laptop battery. After a fresh install, it is a good idea to one by one, manually update each and every cube, starting with dom0, of course. Then it will shut down. Normally, I do a reboot after installing an OS, but not with Qubes. It wants those updates first, I guess.

[qubes-users] future dom0 to run fedora-30 or debian-10 ?
Just curious, now that fedora-30 is officially here. Like many, I'm a Debian fan, been using it forever, so would love to see a switch to Debian. I just installed fedora-30 template and checked it out. Looks good, no problems. I also cloned debian-9 to debian-10 and upgraded to Buster. Works fine too. I'm eager to upgrade whonix's too.

I configured the Fedora-minimal and Debian-minimal templates, did all the replacement ideas, but in the end, I deleted them. Made no difference. Overkill. It was fun though, and educational.

[qubes-users] dom0 kernel 4.19.43-1 update a fix for ATI Radeon cards, or the original?
On Saturday morning, dom0 had a kernel update 4.19.43-1 which broke Qubes for people with older ATI Radeon cards. It was temporarily pulled. I see the same kernel is now back in the updates repository. Is this the same kernel which breaks ATI Radeon cards? Or is it a different kernel, that fixes the ATI Radeon breaking issue.

I was reading about those testing repositories yesterday. Now that I'm used to doing reinstalls :) I might as well try it out. That's what backups are for. However, one of my backups failed to restore, errors. I'm hoping when they upgrade the qubes backup/restore software, they can improve reliability and fault recovery. It's a shame that one error prevents the rest of the restore. Now I'm going to start backing up each qube separately, making many small backups, and run verify every time. There's got to be a better way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Just did fresh install + all updates = everything working fine
Thanks to everyone who helped troubleshoot the latest dom0 kernel update issue. Everything seems to be working just fine. Fresh install uses kernel 4.14.74-1, and a full update takes it to 4.14.119-2. Both working fine. I hope the next kernel update doesn't break systems that have the old ATI Radeon video cards.

Full image backups > can get impractical. I agree the qubes backup/restore is easier. I learned the lesson of don't make any changes to system templates like Debian-9, because you can't backup/restore them. I'm trying to keep the number of qubes down to just one screen full in Qubes Manager, which gets hard quickly. I'll either have to start creating a bunch of extra templates, or start writing down any changes I make. I'll probably just write down the changes, then lose that piece of paper DOH! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yes, please pull 4.19.43-1 kernel update, if possible. Would solve my problem. I was curious if it was the kernel, or the xfce and lightdm, so I tried a fresh install, and when done, reboots fine. Then I didn't update anything, but I did switch over to kde/sddm with fingers crossed, hoping that was it. No such luck. I updated dom0 only, then after reboot, the same ole problem. Computer boots all the way up to the point of login, then when using kde, just appears to stop. PC not locked up, can still toggle numlock and capslock, but ctrl-alt-del doesn't work, have to press power button, then pc shuts down on it's own. I have an older ATI Radeon card too: (ATI) now called AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 on an Intel ASUS G73Jh 213 laptop It's not the AMD cpu for me, I have Intel. I can still get in, booting new Xen 4.8.5-6 with old kernel 4.14.74 (from fresh install). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] qubes backup and restore question
What is the point of backing up a qube, if you can't restore to it? I'm restoring a full backup, and instead of restoring to qubes, it's creating new ones with different names. WTF! What the hell am I supposed to do now? Delete the original qubes, and rename the restores? I'm guessing that will break a bunch of links, which I'll have to manually fix. Am I the only person that thinks this is totally stupid? And it says the restored dom0 files are located in some other directory. What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Dom0 can't be restored? Are you kidding me? It's a good thing I gave up drinking when my brother died. I definitely need a drink right about now.

Yes, that worked. I'm back to a fresh install. I didn't know we could do that. Damn, I was a little hasty formatting my drive. That's okay, I didn't lose much. If I try upgrading again, it will break again. Maybe whatever fedora broke will get fixed in the coming weeks. I don't like the idea of running without updates.

[qubes-users] qubes updater broken? just had to re-install qubes
Don't know if anyone else had this problem yet today. Booted my computer this morning, Qubes 4 fully updated, been using for months, apply updates every day. Today, I noticed lots of updates. Dom0 had both kernel and Xen updates, so did all the other qubes. I let the normal Qubes Updater do it's thing, updating each cube. It completed fine, or so I thought. I noticed that several qubes didn't shutdown quite right, click on the right Q button, they were still there, but showed zero memory usage. I tried shutting them down manually, but nothing happened. Qubes Manager reported they were shut down. I decided to do a normal shutdown, which went fine. When it booted back up, enter disk password, seems to boot up normally, as soon as gets to screen for user login, screen flashes back and forth between text install mode and gui mode. Kept cycling, and hard disk light blinks each time. Let it run for a while, hoping it would change, but no luck. Did a ctrl-alt-del and it does proper shutdown/reboot, but comes back up with same problem. Reformatting it now. Good thing I did recent backup to USB stick. Maybe it was just my bad luck, lets hope so. Today, I re-learned the value of backups. If you are reading this... backup recently? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
