Hi there,

from time to time a net or proxy vm crashes - connected App/Proxy-VMs
are obviously no longer able to connect to an (external) network.
In Qubes 3.2, the user has to disconnect connected VMs manually before
the user is allowed to reboot the crashed VM.

Suggestion: Qubes could and I think even should do this (disconnect,
reboot, reconnect) automatically. However, there should be a warning
telling the user which VMs (s)he is about to disconnect.

What do you thin?

The problem is getting more and more nasty. Since a few weeks ago, the
wlan-NetVMs fails to boot very often. I always have to disconnect the
ProxyVM, restart and reconnect. as I cannot believe that nobody else has
this kind of problem?!

Thank you

I think its a good idea to support this use case, because having to
manually re-connect many connected appVMs can be daunting. I wonder if
this is already a feature request?

Hi,

Yes, I agree

It isn't a critical issue, but is too annoying to restore the VMs connections after this type of situations
