Struggling with Debian Template VMs (Regular vs tmp...)

Hello all,

Kind of a newbie with Qubes which I'm running for a few months now on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (I took the same version as developers to limit surprises!! ;-)

I'm a bit lost with the Debian template VMs

After I installed Qubes following the instructions I ended up with two Template VMs for Debian:

> debian-9

> tmp-debian-9

The point is that I can only create AppVMs based on tmp-debian-9

If I try with the regular debian-9, the Qube is actually created but won't start... it halts straight away.

Q1: is this tmp VM normal and just a matter of naming?

Q2: if yes, should I remove the "regular" debian-9

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Max

Which version did you install?
I would remove both, and install the latest template with
`sudo dnf install qubes-template-debian-10`

unman

Stupid me - I mean
`sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-debian-10`
run in dom0 terminal

All OK, thanks a lot for your support.

Followed your last instruction and installed Debian 10 template on my Qubes 4.0.

I then launched Debian 10 update, created a new Qube based on it and tested Libreoffice install.

Everything works perfectly, Thanks again!
