Ubuntu 26.04 template

General Discussion
1

Ubuntu 26.04, resolute raccoon, has been released.

If any one wants to try it out, I’ve pushed a template:
https://qubes.3isec.org/Templates_4.3/

I’ve built Qubes packages and they are available at 3isec

Official packages will be available soon, but the build isn’t
yet straightforward so these are usable in the meantime.
The templates ship with the Qubes repository configured - you will need
to comment out the definition until those packages are built. If you
want to use the 3isec repo in the meantime, instructions for configuring
that repository are given.

Resolute leans on snap, so I have included the qubes-snap-helper. If you
want firefox you will need to snap install firefox in your qube.

I checked it now, and it looks quite promising!

Due to a change in resolute’s sudo-implementation, you will get errors trying to run sudo. This can be fixed by commenting out everything in /etc/sudoers.d/qubes.

I did not use the Qubes repositories, because otherwise apt update threw an error. Maybe this is the reason why passwordless root did not work. So I had to set a password for the user user manually, because an empty password was not accepted by sudo.

I hope these observations help a bit.

Thanks for feedback.
I believe you can just use su as ordinary Ubuntu.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.

Hi @unman, thanks to you for providing this template. I have installed it but when I attempt to update it I am seeing an error:

Is there something I can do to resolve it?

It should be deb.qubes-os.org, not debu.qubes-os.org.

Check the apt sources list files (maybe in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list) in your template and fix the link.

While writing this reply I note that the debu.qubes-os.org host appears to resolve. So perhaps it is not a mistake. I am unsure.

No. debu.qubes-os.org is correct. This is the repository for Ubuntu
packages. deb.qubes-os.org is the repository for Debian packages.
Resolute is a Ubuntu release.

The reason for the “not found” message is that official packages have
not yet been built for resolute.
You can comment out that repository for the moment, until official
packages have been released.
