Switching to new Fedora

User Support
1

So upgraded fedora and I have switched everything that needed to. How do I switch my “sys-usb” as soon as I stop it so I can switch it I have no usb mouse? Is there some cmd to run in dom0 I can do to switch sys-usb to new fedora?

Also in qubes manager on the far right the column states “default disposable vm” for everything which stills has to old fedora. How do I switch that so it states the right fedora I am using???

thanks

did you folow the docs? it is there

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb; qvm-prefs sys-usb template <new_template>; qvm-start sys-usb

but read it again carefully, do not lock yourself out of your computer

thanks, typo I believe and thank god for that.

what about the “default disposable vm” in qubes manager. I went into each qunes settings and changed it to the new fedora version but it is still stating the "old fedora version " in qubes manager…

do I have to use this full code???

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create -l red -t <new_template> <new_template_dvm>
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-prefs <new_template_dvm> template_for_dispvms True
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-features <new_template_dvm> appmenus-dispvm 1
[user@dom0 ~]$ qubes-prefs default-dispvm <new_template_dvm>

Or can I just use???

[user@dom0 ~]$ qubes-prefs default-dispvm <new_template_dvm>

I believe you must go for the first option.
Again, read carefully. I found these steps are prone to error if you are not focused. And test afterwards if you can.
