[qubes-users] Some issues during / after upgrading to 4.2.0

Hi!

As I had some time, I performed the upgrade to Qubes OS 4.2.0.

Unfortunately there were a few unexpected findings:

* fedora-38 is obsolete already? I thought fedora-37 is???

* my debian-12-dvm template no longer offers Firefox: Qubes settings say: "Application missing in template (firefox-esr.desktop)", However the template is the same as before upgrading Qubes-OS

* The post-reboot phase talked about upgrading to 4.1 once; unfortunately the messages scrolled away.

* Booting after "pre-reboot" showed no UEFI boot entry being present.

* "qmemman.daemon.xswatcher[103730]: do_balance() failed" (see details at end of message)

* Jan 04 22:52:15 dom0 (o-bridge)[111387]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib64/security/pam_sss.so): /usr/lib64/security/pam_sss.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jan 04 22:52:15 dom0 (o-bridge)[111387]: PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib64/security/pam_sss.so

* In 4.1 there was a shutdown issue: the LUKS device could not be deactivated as the journal was still writing to the filesystem (see at end, also)

No, Fedora 38 has not reached EOL:

Thank you for your report. This is a known bug:

I was able to fix this by clicking "App Shortcuts" and then "Reefresh applications". So far I thought that is done automatically after each update of the template...
