After the first time updating I also saw again a green arrow. But with me it was like the first time it did a big update, but the second time it mentioned the system was already up-to-date. A restart resolved the "second arrow" problem. Since then haven't got the problem again. Also, I tried updating again and again, and my system says no new updates are available. So I think this was not the cause. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Actually it wasn't even me, it was a family member, and I should of told them to only notifiy me when they see a dom0 update, sigh... I've told them to make sure they read what it says but this is kind of crazy. They told me they already updated dom0 they thought, and I thought ok you normally see that in tempaltes where it updates but doesn't refresh cache or something and still shows a green arrow, but then you go to update and it says nothing to do (cause you know it was already updated maeks sense). But this was probably a failed update or it did something else.

If not, do so. If you did, then reboot again, and when the GRUB menu shows up, select "Advanced Options" and see which kernel is at the top or pre-selected. It's *should* be 4.4.55 but maybe in your case, it's not. As for the kernel limit, you can change installonly_limit in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf in dom0 from 3 to 2 and the next time the kernel is updated, it'll uninstall any kernels beyond the second one, or you could manually uninstall the oldest kernel yourself using sudo dnf remove kernel- kernel-qubes-vm- but hold off on doing that for a bit as there might be a bug right now in vm kernel uninstallation: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2757 >>> Thanks for your reply.

I tried the Debian way to get GRUB running when encrypted, but Qubes is completely different. I can't find the file that I edited on Debian. I don't see any choice. In BIOS selecting the Qubes efi to load is the only option. Which made me think, what if I'd look into that drive? Booted into Qubes, I ran Thunar as root (the only way to view inside /boot/efi) Once in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes I only see the 4.4.14-11 kernel.. I noticed /boot however had 2 grub directories, 1 loader folder and all kernels installed. Looking at the files it seems like GRUB should be functional if it would show up. My /boot is on the same encrypted partition as /(root). Is it possible that GRUB can't be loaded because it is on an encrypted drive? I had to manually edit GRUB config with Debian Jessie too in order to use GRUB. Secondly, what if I manually copy the new kernel over the old one in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes and edit the xen.cfg to match the version number? Would that work? Or is there a very high chance of breaking my

I don't have a UEFI capable machine so I don't know that interface as well (I use legacy boot), but there must be an advance boot setting in the boot loader to let you pick which kernel to boot, similar to grub? The definitive thing would be to open up a terminal in dom0 and run uname -r and it should display the kernel version that you're running. If it's saying 4.4.55 but qubes-hcl-report says otherwise, then it'd be a bug in qubes-hcl-report. That said, I run a 4.10 kernel in my dom0 and qubes-hcl-report reports the correct kernel. Unfortunately, I don't have a 4.4 kernel installed to test for myself, and I would but I'm having some issues on my machine with the latest set of Qubes updates, which I need to resolve first before I can get back to testing various things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

(I currently experience some issues with the original mailservice.. So that's why I reply with my Google account now..) Ofcourse I have rebooted, several times even. GRUB menu? What GRUB menu? lol I know GRUB, but I don't see any GRUB menu when I boot.. I have an UEFI install. /boot/efi is in the EFI partition. /root + swap and /home are on different encrypted partitions. Should I have made another unencrypted /boot partition? When I start my laptop, I see some text and one [FAILED] message saying something about kernel. It disappears to fast to read fully. Which log can I open to read these messages? After this, Qubes boots to decrypt my drives and to the login screen. Everything seems to work fine. Even in dom0 Global Settings and via CLI it says kernel 4.4.55-11 is running. But when I generate the HCL report or when I try to reinstall/uninstall the kernel, it says it can't remove kernel 4.4.14-11 because I am booted into 4.4.14-11. I'll try making GRUB work with encryption the Debian way when I get home and see if GRUB then shows up. I'll keep you updated. I'll also just upload the full HCL report when I have time. Would be nice if my questions could be answered in the meantime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

If not, do so. If you did, then reboot again, and when the GRUB menu shows up, select "Advanced Options" and see which kernel is at the top or pre-selected. It's *should* be 4.4.55 but maybe in your case, it's not. As for the kernel limit, you can change installonly_limit in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf in dom0 from 3 to 2 and the next time the kernel is updated, it'll uninstall any kernels beyond the second one, or you could manually uninstall the oldest kernel yourself using sudo dnf remove kernel- kernel-qubes-vm- but hold off on doing that for a bit as there might be a bug right now in vm kernel uninstallation: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2757 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
