Qubes Package updater - No network connection was detected

[atrain...@gmail.com]

So I'm trying to update everything I can with Qubes and I keep running into an issue when I try to run the Package Updater in Qubes. Originally I was going to use Tor when I set up Qubes but it never worked so I had to revert back to using my VPN. With the help of some people here, I think I got everything converted over, but this program won't work.

Not sure what you mean by Package Updater, or what isn't working.

You havent explained what the problem is, or what you have done to try
to fix it.

Check the contents of /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy
It's possible that templates are still set to use the non-working whonix

you seem to be doing something fundamentally incorrect, afaik, your
Templates netvm (qvm-prefs <name of template> ) should be set to
'none' (dom0 terminal qvm-prefs <nameoftemplate> netvm none ) .... all
'updating' proceeds by the order of the qubes.UpdatesProxy
sequence


https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/rpc-policy/ or so


if you change anything in there write down the exact order or the
original so you can fall back as needed


anything not correct in there might break your opsec or break your
updates ..... but maybe you knew all this ?
