I started uprading Whonix using the salt command, but the process was
interrupted.
On retrying, it fails, unable to create the whonix WS VM due to
"permission denied". From journalctl:
Oct 08 11:24:35 dom0 qubesd[2098]: permission denied for call
b'admin.vm.Create.AppVM'+b'whonix-ws-16' (b'dom0' → b'dom0') with payload of 31
bytes
(see below for the salt output)
When I run the qvm-create command from the salt output manually, it also
fails, because the whonix-ws-16 template doesn't exist:
$ qvm-create --verbose whonix-ws-16-dvm --class=AppVM --template=whonix-ws-16
--label=red
2021-10-08 11:33:54,499 [MainProcess qvm_create.main:177] app: Error creating
VM: Got empty response from qubesd. See journalctl in dom0 for details.
I assume all this is related to the failed previous attempt.
How do I reset the state so that I can successfully do the upgrade?
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix
