I am using Qubes 2.0.
Lately I noticed something odd in the VM Manager. Both the "Netvm" and "Firewall" have a yellow colored icon under the "State" column. Sometimes they stay like that even if I plugin my Ethernet cable to go online.
I don't notice any difference in function but it concerns me because yellow usually means warning.
The only way I can, for sure, make the "State" icon turn green is to stop then restart them.
Should I be concerned? If yes, then what are your suggestions?
Thank you.

When I've experienced this in the past, it's usually been because
there has been no GUI activity (e.g., windows being displayed) in
those VMs. If the VMs still work, it's not a problem, and you should
be able to change the state from yellow to green by opening any kind
of visible window (e.g., xterm).

OK, I will just stop and restart them as needed. It looks as if doing so is safe.
Thanks.
