Hi,
About 3 days ago I decided to do a fresh install of Qubes, simply because I wanted to change my disk password and re-installing it seemed easier then messing around with grub. This was a grave mistake.
I used the exact same setup-USB that I originally installed Qubes on 6 months ago or so, running 4.2rc3-iso (I was simply going to update through Qubes). For no reason at all, after installing it, TOR refused to connect and stayed at 5%.
After some research I decided it was something to do with the system clock in the BIOS, (it was an hour off due to daylight savings) so I changed it. After also messing around with sys-net, I somehow broke it and it refused to even connect to any router, so I can’t even test if my fix worked or not. “I’ll just re-install it again” or so I thought.
After re-installing again, this time, sys-net works of course, but I now have a brand new error which is simply whonix refuses to work, at all. At the end of the installation I get:
[‘systemctl’,‘start’‘qubes-vm@sys-whonix.service’] failed:
stdout: “”
stderr: "Job for qubes-vm@sys-whonix.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status qubes-vm@sys-whonix.service” and “journalctl -xeu qubes-vm@sys-whonix.service” for details.
"
Worth noting I put that last statement into the terminal, and it always spits out “job failed” with a random job identifier number every time. I’ve re-installed 3 times now and this error has spit out at the end of the installation every time.
I’m actually running it of USB, so to make matters worse, installing is a genuine 5+ hour process before it’s done, and I only know it failed at the end. My last attempt I actually grabbed the most recent stable 4.2 iso incase it was something to do with it being 4.2 pre-release rc3, but I still get the same error. I can’t launch anything related to whonix, including anon connection wizard, and I don’t want to update/connect qubes through clearnet.
I’m at my wits end. All I did was change the BIOS time one hour back (I know for a fact I didn’t change anything else, as much as it seems like I did) and now I can’t even use Qubes. Changing it forward dosen’t fix it either. Any help pretty please.
