[qubes-users] Questions regarding updating a Fedora-template to a new version integer

I have the following questions regarding updating a Fedora-template to a new version integer:

  1. Will the files in the desktop, documents, downloads and QubesIncoming folder be deleted when updating it ?

  2. Will all the AppVM’s that is connected with the Fedora-template also be updated and still work after the update ?

  3. Will the installed applications in the Fedora-template have to be reinstalled afterwards ?

  4. If not, then why not let Qubes Update the Fedora-template to a new version integer when the user accept it to do so, or at least create a script file that a user can execute instead of having to execute all the commands manually ?

No, this is AppVM data, template updates should not touch AppVM data. No, you need to change all AppVMs to the new template. However, they should work. It depends on what update route you go. I would like to see that too. – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “qubes-users” group.

“[…] you need to change all AppVMs to the new template.”

Is this done by open the “Qube Settings” in the AppVm’s and under Template choose the new template, or what is needed to connect the old AppVM’s to the new/updated template ?

There is a nice Template manager tool - look in the System Menu for "manage
Templates for qubes"
You can select multiple qubes and switch to a new template with one
press of a button.
