Is standalone attached to sys-whonix, at least somewhere in the net chain? If so, try to set netVM to none and check again. I experience this especially, if not exclusively on whonix-based VMs and qubes attached to whonix-based VMs, so I concluded it’s something with whonix. I haven’t tried with qubes attached to sys-firewall only, but both sys-firewall and sys-net are not stuck in these cases.

  • sys-whonix is shutdown during the whole process
  • Both sys-firewall and sys-net are default fedora APP VM
  • Debian-11 standalone VM is not net VM
