Hi,

i received a notification, that for 3 of my qubes updates are available.
I started the Update tool, however all 3 qubes fail to be updated.

I received for each qubes the following message:

Why ? What happened and how to resolve the situation ??

Are you using a Fedora based updatevm? Would you please check within your updatevm inside /etc/qubes-rpc directory and see if you have a file named qubes.UpdateProxy.rpmnew

3

I use Debian based updatevm. No fedora at all.

What’s your update proxy qube?
Do you have VPN in it?
Maybe your update proxy qube is using IPv6?
There was something similar:

5

Hi, no i do not have VPN in it a the moment.

IPV6
IP Address 2001 dbb8:1::2/128
more addresses:
fe80::f925:cfbe:b0e6:8ec2/64
Default route fe80::1
Primary DNS fe80::1
in the network manager the IPV6 Method was set to automatic.

Is sys-net your update proxy qube?
Try to change the IPv6 configuration in network manager from automatic to disabled.
And then disable/enable networking using network manager to apply to changes.

7

Ok, i will do.

8

dom0…is the update qube ??

9

Open Qubes Global Settings → Updates tab. What’s the qube for “Default update proxy”?

10

where do i find qubes global settings ???

11

Open Qubes OS menu in the top left corner Q → gear icon → Qubes Tools → Qubes Global Config.

Thanks…
The update of dom0 works…the others are still pending…

13

Update proxy is sys-firewall

14

Is it “Dom0 update proxy” or “Default update proxy”?

15

default update proxy sys-net

16

Ok, then it could be an issue with IPv6 in sys-net. Disabling IPv6 in sys-net should solve this.

17

Dom0 update proxy

18

dom0 was updated successfully…the three other qubes still have the same problem to connect like before…

19

done

Did you disable/enable networking using network manager to apply to changes in sys-net?
