That is vey helpful. One point is missing to my pov: known wirelesses in "old sys-net" before moving over. In my Q4rc4 sys-net /etc/Networkmanager/system-connections is a symbolic link to /rw/config/NM-system-connections that contains one file per wireless. When following your guide until the last dnf command that same dir 1) is not a symlink but a "hard" subdir 2) is (of course) empty If the structure were the same I'd say a qvm-copy line is missing, but actually I do not know what this symlink is good for. Can someone explain this to me, Please? Bernhard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I was able to get Network Manager running and instead of using the default "fat" fedora-templates, I am now running the sys-VMs with fedora-26-minimal templates. I was always wondering why Qubes doesn't come with a dedicated sys-template, so that the sys VMs (sys-net | sys-firewall | sys-usb) are running with a smaller/maybe even hardened template. For the Google Archive a short how-to, how I have built the template for the sys-VMs: --- --- --- 8# Install default minimal template in dom0 sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-26-minimal # Clone template to keep the original template qvm-clone fedora-26-minimal t-sys # Launch xterm in the new template as root qvm-run -u root t-sys xterm # Install basic applications in the template VM sudo dnf -y install gnome-terminal terminus-fonts less vim-minimal nano dejavu-sans-fonts # install basic tools dnf -y install sudo pciutils psmisc gnome-keyring # Install missing packages für Sys-VMs dnf -y install qubes-core-agent-qrexec qubes-core-agent-systemd qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root qubes-core-agent-nautilus qubes-core-agent-networking qubes-core-agent-network-manager qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates pulseaudio-qubes usbutils # Install missing drivers (to support the network devices) dnf -y install linux-firmware iwl7260-firmware # install additional packages to get network manager working dnf install -y NetworkManager NetworkManager-wifi network-manager-applet wireless-tools # shutdown template shutdown -h now # Change Templates for sys-VMs in dom0 qvm-prefs --set sys-net template t-sys qvm-prefs --set sys-firewall template t-sys qvm-prefs --set sys-usb template t-sys --- --- --- 8 [799] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I assume what you want is a nice gui interface - this is nm-applet. If it is installed, start it and you will get the nice tray icon - if not installed, install it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Using fedora-26-minimal sys-vms
Hello, I want to use fedora-26-minimal based sys-vms and followed the documentation (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora-minimal ) I have updated the default fedora-26-minimal template and installed all packages mentioned in the docs (Qubes 4.0 part of the above documentation link) plus all firmware packages. What do I need to install to get the network manager icon working? NetworkManager is installed in the template and I have verified in the sys-net VM that it is running: systemctl status NetworkManager Says: active (running) I tried to start NetworkManager from command line, but got the message: You must be root to run NetworkManager. I then started a xterm from dom0 as the Root user: qvm-start -u root sys-net NetworkManager but nothing happened. I also try to do this from a xterm session (qvm-start -u root sys-net xterm). Any ideas how to get a sys-net which has a working network manager? [799] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
