I did install a clean qubes 3.1 and I created all vms by myself. After a while I noticed some weird behavior with the autostart setting in qvm-prefs.

My sys-net and sys-firewall were auto starting even with autostart set to False, and so I though the system must have written somewhere to start these machines since the name I've choosen is the same the system usually name these machines.

Decided to change the names and even create new net and firewall vms to see if both network and firewall kept auto starting.
After a while I can't really say why they start or not. Definitely qvm-prefs autostart is not helping.
Right now I've to machines with name network and firewall which keep autostarting even with qvm-prefs autostart set to False.

Something else I found out is the state of the vms in qubes manager when vms are set to autostart. They do not fully start. They remain in that yellow state (starting). But only until you launch an application from the vm it won't fully start (with green state). For example, in network vm only until I launch a terminal It won't start and I won't get NetworkManager Applet.

Something weird that happened a few times is when launching an application, the vm "start" and the application launch but the qubes manager shows again a yellow state in that vm and next to it, a recycle symbol (green arrows) like when you update a template and a vm need to be restarted.

Another issue I've found is after setting the debian 8 template. I tried to create a vm but I was receiving the following error:

Dom0: Error Creating AppVm

Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'qid'

Also, while trying to change the netvm of the Template was encountering few problems. Qubes manager showed a netvm but when tried to change it from qubes manager I could not, or changes were not applied or different error messages were showed. (the only thing I remember is mentioning qid in various of these errors.

Since I couldn't do much decided to continue setting fedora 23 template and after 1 or 2 reboots the debian8 template issues disappeared and I could create and start vms from debian.

Last thing I wanted to mention is my inability to use the "convert to trusted PDF". I did mention this in another post. The application starts, open a disposable VM and send to Untrusted PDFs the original one, but there is no secure PDF as a result.

  I know most of this bugs must be minor bugs between manager and vms but I do not know how to help it. I wish I could.

cheeers!

I have seen this same behavior in Qubes as far back as 2.0 IIRC.  I just took it as normal.  As it in no way delayed the network connection from a VM.
 
Something weird that happened a few times is when launching an application, the vm "start" and the application launch but the qubes manager shows again a yellow state in that vm and next to it, a recycle symbol (green arrows) like when you update a template and a vm need to be restarted.

I got The yellow ! next to one when I accidentally tried to start it twice and had a number of VMs all starting up at the same time.  It went away as soon as I restarted it.

Another issue I've found is after setting the debian 8 template. I tried to create a vm but I was receiving the following error:

On the other issues did you do a updates on all the templates first?   I noticed a couple weird things that went away after I did the initial updates and restarted everything.  Since then everything so far has been running fairly smoothly but I have yet to dig into everything.

This is because the VM set as "default netvm" is always started at system
boot, regardless of "autostart" setting. It would be started anyway when
you start the first networked VM, so it's speeding up that action.

If you really want to disable this, disable "qubes-netvm" service in
dom0 (sudo systemctl disable qubes-netvm).

Was the template running at that time? If so, take a look here:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/975

Looks familiar? Or something else?

I'm consistently getting the same error and can't get around it, here's the error

-> Backing up files: 94%...Removing file dom0-home/User.004
-> Backing up files: 94%...Sending file dom0-home/User.004.hmac
-> Backing up files: 94%...Removing file dom0-home/User.004.hmac

-> Backing up files: 94%...Wait_backup_feedback returned: addproc
 ERROR: Failed to perform backup: error in addproc

Before you think the "File removed before we read it" is the issue, I've tried in multiple ways to delete that file and it still dies at the same point, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. Any ideas? Thanks much ...

Sorry, this is from the last iteration ... I removed the file, tried backing up again, got the same problem (without the complaint about the file), then rebooted and tried again (maybe it was some odd problem), this is the result of that so shows that error again.

Oh one thought - "why is it still there"? No idea, but seems to get recreated, at least on reboot.

The user name on this is "User" (User@dom0), and this file is named "user", perhaps some issue with using the name "User"? I remember you mentioning something about that.

I see that .local/share/systemd/user is indeed broken symlink. You can
try to create the directory pointed by it (.config/systemd/user). As the
symlink is apparently recreated after reboot...

Anyway a single broken symlink shouldn't break the whole backup:

Yeah that's what I didn't make clear. 1) Delete the bad symlink 2) re-run the backup 3) it fails at the same point, no error information

Yeah, I think that's a red herring, deleting it makes no difference.

And the final error is still about "addproc"? If there is no other
message, I think it's time to go for --debug option. Be prepared to
receive A LOT of output.

Yes, this IS the result of --debug :)

Anything else I can try?

Ah, indeed...

Is that still error in "addproc"? If so, there is some error message there,
maybe much earlier...

There is the issue with any user name other than 'user' all lower case letters.  'User' would create the config fail error during install at least.

Well I realized the vms with this yellow stat are really up and running.

But if you want to select a different network I have to launch an application from the net vm or I won't get NetworkManager Applet in dom0 and that does delay.
Also when whonix-gateway which also autoruns does not notice to dom0 with "connected to tor", but it is.
I'm trying to say, when the vms autorun they remain in this yellow state and they won't "talk" to dom0, or dom0 won't notify about the vms (sry I don't have skills to explain any better).

Are you able to reproduce this problem? What exactly are the steps?

No, I tried to change the firewall vm name and then play a bit with it but couldn't, I don't really remember what my steps were.

Looks familiar? Or something else?

I remember a dom0 message about a mac but I don't remember exactly, I will be more carefully if it does happen again.

Did you get any error? What templates are you using for source VM and
default DispVM?

No errors at all (can I search deeper on this? how? ).
I'm using fedora-23 template for both.

"Also when whonix-gateway which also autoruns does not notice to dom0 with "connected to tor", but it is."

Now tht you mention it I notice this too. I k ow I get the message when I start the ws.client vm. I do recall reading something in whonix sites docs that the newest version is now using silent mode for the connection and bootstrapping of the gw. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I can not recall what was needed to change it back to.the gui verbose pop up window for it. Maybe see if you can find it on their site if you think it might be the reason for this.

Another thing I noticed was a difference in some of the config of vms created by the command line versus the vmm gui. I can't recall off the top of my head what they were. I k ow it was enough for me to delete them and ceate them instead via the vmm. I will look at this when I get home

Hello again.

I've discovered why autostarted VMs remain in "yellow" state in Qubes VM Manager after system boots.
The whole thing happens when you get into dom0 really quick.
I explain, qubes 3.1 has improved a lot loading times from 3.0 to 3.1. I believe this is because previously (3.0 and older) VMs started loading before logging screen (or at least that was for me). Now in 3.1 VMs start loading when you reach login screen. If you enter your pass really quick VMs doesn't have time to reach the "green" state. Because of this, Qubes VM Manager will show "yellow" state and the notifications from VMs (such as network manager applet from sys-net or "connected to tor" message from sys-whonix" will not get to dom0.
However if you wait 1min or so before entering your pass, VM manager will show "green" and the messages will get to dom0.

No idea on how to proceed further but I figured out how to reproduce it.

Regarding PDF conversion I have yet no idea. Still waiting for some help.

You are probably right about the cause. But in theory in 3.1 login
screen still should be shown only after all autostarted VMs are running,
so something is wrong here. Check `sudo systemctl` output for any failed
services.

sudo systemctl reveals the following:

qube...@sys-firewall.service  loaded   failed      failed
qube...@sys-net.service        loaded   failed      failed
systemd-modules-load.services  loaded   failed      failed

the rest seems up and running.

Any of these things may result in a malfunction of pdf conversion aswell?

Those two VMs are already started by qubes-netvm service. So it isn't
the problem (but still a bug):

I don't think so.

I just did a bunch of reboots and I was able to duplicate the issues he has started about the autoruns.   If I wait just a bit longer before entering the user and password login screen ( post LUKS)  I get green across the board but if I enter it fast the immediately when it pops up and enter thru I get yellows at least until I use them.  USBVM stays yellow as I am not presently using any usb connections. 

Marek,

If you want any tests and logs run and attached here just post up the commands etc and I am glad to run and upload or in github, where ever.

Cheers.,

Tim

Check ~/.xsession-errors for anything related to those VMs in yellow
(USBVM in your case).

I meant ~/.xsession-errors in dom0, I wasn't clear about that.

Found the problem with sys-firewall:

Running command on VM: 'sys-firewall'...
ERROR(sys-firewall): Domain 'sys-firewall': qrexec not connected.

but nothing about USB VM. Anyway it looks like login is allowed before
sys-firewall is fully started. Will try to find out why.

yes that is basically it.  Also why I stated earlier that its something thats been around for a while.  At least in my experince its not been a large issue in that when a direct action is called from that vm it responds and works.  Maybe it causes more issues for others.  For me if its an easy fix great.....

Ah, indeed...

Is that still error in "addproc"? If so, there is some error message there,
maybe much earlier...

Thanks, finally tracked it down. Just did a backup of dom0 found a number of bogus files ...

.config/systemd/user
.kde/socket-dom0
home-prerestore/.../.config/systemd/user
 
It was being reported earlier as you said. Problem fixed for now, thanks so much.
