Hi, I've previously used seahorse (`sudo dnf install seahorse` in fedora-3* 
based sys-net) to unlock/reset/remove the password on the keyring. I think 
it might also be sufficient to just remove the files in 
~/.local/share/keyrings/ in sys-net, but not sure if there are other 
implications to doing this.

[qubes-users] Fedora template upgrades: recreating DispVM Template vs 'rebasing'

2020-06-08 Thread mvermaes
Hello there.

When upgrading a Qubes 4 system to a new Fedora template, what are the 
differences between regenerating the DisposableVM Template from the new 
template using step 3 from [1]:

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create -l red -t new-template new-template-dvm
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-prefs new-template-dvm template_for_dispvms True
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-features new-template-dvm appmenus-dispvm 1 
[user@dom0 ~]$ qubes-prefs default-dispvm new-template-dvm

and changing the base template of the existing DisposableVM Template, 
either with Qubes Manager or:

qvm-prefs  template 

?

I've run the four steps above to regenerate the DispVM Template during 
previous upgrades, but swapping out the base template also seems to work.

I thought the reason the additional steps were recommended in the docs 
might be to encourage periodically cleaning out/resetting unneeded 
software/data from the DispVM Template. But that seems like a good practice 
for AppVMs as well. I only have some light customization of Firefox and a 
few other applications in the DispVM Template, so I'm wondering if just 
changing the base template is appropriate for me.

Thanks!

Seeing same problem here. I think it is a known issue [1] related to some 
recent updates. I don't use chromium either, but there is a related issue for 
that too [2].

I've done a clean install of Qubes 3.2 on the host now, and then re-downloaded 
qubes-template-fedora-24-minimal and set up my custom template based on it. I 
still see the same issue with ImageMagick being skipped for installation.

If I try to install ImageMagick in the unmodified fedora-24-minimal template, 
dnf offers to download the 'real' packages. But after using dnf to update all 
packages, the problem is introduced. The smallest package set I've found to 
reproduce this is just dnf, ie.

dnf update dnf

will trigger the behaviour. But I'm not really sure where to look next. Any 
suggestions?

Thanks again.

Michael

[qubes-users] Fedora 24 on Qubes 3.1 support, uninstallable packages

2017-01-24 Thread mvermaes
Hi, I recently installed the fedora-24-minimal template per [1] and configured 
all my AppVMs to use a new template based on it. All seems to be working well, 
except that I am unable to install the following packages:

- ImageMagick
- pycairo

Both are skipped as follows:

~$ sudo dnf install ImageMagick pycairo
...
Package qubes-template-minimal-stub-1.1-1.fc23.noarch is already installed, 
skipping.
Package pycairo-1.10.0-4.fc24.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Package qubes-template-minimal-stub-1.1-1.fc23.noarch is already installed, 
skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Sending application list and icons to dom0
Complete!
~$

[2] seems to suggest it should be possible to install these packages, but I 
also saw a thread [3] that indicates that Fedora 24 may not be supported on 
Qubes R3.1, and maybe this could be causing the issue. The 
qubes-template-minimal-stub rpm is the only fc23 package that is installed in 
the template.

I am planning to reinstall the host with R3.2 at some point anyway, but I 
wanted to get Thunderbird and Firefox updated to the newer versions in F24 
sooner than that, hence installing the newer template first.

The missing packages are not a big deal, but it would be great to confirm the 
correct process for next time (looking forward to Qubes 4.0!) Is it supported 
to update to a newer Fedora template and then upgrade the Qubes release on the 
host, or should the host always be reinstalled/upgraded to the new version 
first?

Thanks very much for your advice.

Michael
