Weird Display after Backup (debian-11, bionic, arch) *solved

[rasta]

Hey,
I tried to restore my Qubes 4.1 backup, with my debian-11, bionic and arch template. But now I have got the problem again, that all displays off that vm’s are weird like in the “archlinux template” thread. I already installed the newest testing updates, but unfortunately it doesn’t fix the problem. What can I try to get these templates working again? Reinstall of the complete system with and the template nothing helped me.
Thank you in advance for your help:)

Take a look in the Qubes 4.1 Testing section. There are not much topics. but here is the link;)
it is some problem because of the qubes-core-agent or sth. like that.

Weird Display in Archlinux Template in Qubes 4.1

I updated again at my other pc now and got the testing repo packages working renaming the qmemman.conf.rpmnew to .conf only and delete the old one. but the display in the archvm is still weird. what exactly is the fix for that? In a bionic vm it is the same problem. at my other pc everything is working ,but I don’t know what is missing now at the new one. Ps. I cannot delete a post here. Otherwise I would replace my post before. sorry for that many posts. I dont really want that . Fixed again …

So I finally got it working again.
My steps:

1. I installed my deb11.rpm based on a .rpm deb-11 template from @unman month ago
2. Then terminal is not working and u have got a black / weird display
3. Open qubes manager , right click the template and press “open console in qube” . Then a console is starting
4. login with the username: root and press enter.
5. Then update the template using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
6. Shutdown the vm ,reboot ur Pc and then you should be able to open a terminal like usual
7. Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade to get a fully updated vm, with pulse-audio-agent working and after these steps u can update the vm like usual.
8. Be careful at step 7. if u get asked where to installed the grub, mostly it should be the first one (xda32xxxmb) , press space and okay and it should update
   I can add my debian11.rpm file. then u just need to copy it to dom0 and run sudo dnf install .rpm and to the steps. otherwise u have to build the template Do it like u prefer it.
   And of course debian-11 will be realeased the next time and is not yet official supported by Qubes. So if there are any errors it will be fixed soon, but I did not noitce much and daily things are working fine. Even using a microphone in those vm’s works
   If anybody like to test it just write it and I will send it to you or upload it on github or sth. like that .

Here is how I copy sth. from a vm for example personal to dom0:
run this in dom0 and replace the nameofvm,foldername,username…with yours.
qvm-run --pass-io nameofvm 'cat /foldername/filename.file ’ > /home/username/foldername/nameoffile.file

Stay healthy and enjoy ur week

Ps: The debian-11 template is also available in the itl testing repo, sorry did not know that;) The of course u can install it from the repo and if u have an error follow the steps.
sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-itl-testing qubes-template-debian-11
I prefer debian-11 instead of debian-11 because I like to have a new os, which will be available for the next years,working on Qubes 4.1 where I can build my system step by step
