No terminal in fedora-34 template on new install

User Support
1

Hello,
I am new to Qubes and need help:

I installed Qubes OS 4.1.0, installation worked without any error.
I am now trying to
(1) clone the fedora-34 template and
(2) install software within this clone.

I try to use this tutorial: How to install software | Qubes OS

I get stuck when trying to open a terminal, as nothing happens - this is what I do:

  • Qubes Manager - start the template “fedora 34”
  • As soon as the qube started, I go to “Qube domains” - select fedora-34 - “Run terminal”

On the debian template, this works, but not on Fedora.

Steps to solve:

  • I re-installed the Fedora 34 template, and subsequently updated it with the “Qubes update” tool

Some observations that may help:

  • When I go to the logs of the template, it is as follows:

  • When I select the template and click on “Open console in qube”, the a console opens but seems to have a similar problem as above (I guess it opens a disposable VM)

Any idea or help?

try using xterm instead
run in dom0 : qvm-run fedora-34 xterm

3

So I launched a terminal in dom0 and ran

qvm-run fedora-34 xterm

where fedora-34 is an existing and updated template.
Unfortunately, the terminal shows only “Running ‘xterm’ on fedora-34” and then does not show anything.

In the log files of the template I see something like (copy does not work yet, so typed):

audit: type=1334 audit(...): prog-id=28 op=UNLOAD

Any further ideas? I an older Fedora template helpful to install?

pc spec; cpu, ram ?
try installing fedora-35 will that work ?

SOLVED
I did a complete re-install of Qubes OS, which solved the problem.
Unfortunately, no advice what the reason was for the error. Thx for your comments and help!
