Error message for “debian13-xfce”: “MAYBE” is displayed on July 22, 2026, and July 23, 2026

Can any of you tell me why my “Software” template/VM isn’t working anymore?

The base image is “debian13-xfce.”

I’m not sure what other information you need from me.

Please let me know, and I’ll provide it to you.

Please copy-paste the error messages you are getting, with the command you are running, or if its a gui, send us a screenshot.

You can try the same solution from the last time you had this problem with a debian template:

If you look in the “log” file, then you may get an idea of why the template is taking long time for startup. Did you change some settings?

I recommend to get a small book where you write down useful tips you find while using Qubes…

Please come here to tell us if the solution worked, and what you think was the cause… maybe it can help some other people.
