Using fedora-29-minimal as template for sys-net / sys-firewall / sys-usb

[799]

Hello,

I'm still tryinh to migrate my sys-* VMs to a fedora-29 template which is based on fedora-29-minimal.

I had run through all steps I have done, when building my sys-template whoch was based on a fedora-28-minimal template.

Unfortunately my app-vms which are using the sys-firewall as net-vm are unable to connect to the web, even when the sys-vm themself can connect to the internet.

Any idea what I am missing?

This are the steps I#m using to build a sys-vm-template:

fedora29 qvm-clone fedora-29-minimal

t-fedora-29-sys qvm-run --auto --user root t-fedora-29-sys "xterm -hold -e 'dnf -y install qubes-core-agent-qrexec qubes-core-agent-systemd qubes-core-agent-networking polkit qubes-core-agent-network-manager notification-daemon qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-usb-proxy network-manager-applet NetworkManager-wwan NetworkManager-wifi iwl6000g2a-firmware qubes-input-proxy-sender '"

qvm-shutdown --all --wait --timeout 120

qvm-prefs --set sys-usb template t-fedora-29-sys

qvm-prefs --set sys-net template t-fedora-29-sys

qvm-prefs --set sys-firewall template t-fedora-29-sys

qvm-start sys-firewall

kind regards

Additional note which might be important:

The sys-net VM which is based on the fedora-29 template I have built can connect to the internet (I tried ping and also using the CLI-browser w3m).
The sys-firewall VM is unable to connect to the internet, when using sys-net as Net-VM.
If I choose my fedora-28 sys-vḿ-template for sys-net and sys-firewall everything is fine.
This means that I am missing something in the new fedora-29 sys-template which is likely not covered by the qubes docs.

I just moved to fedora-29(due to update issues with 28), full version and everything seems to be working fine.

A while back I had issues with wifi connecting and used the following command in my fedora template:

sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

My wifi then worked...

CAUTION: I am by no means an expert, more of a hack so do some research before trying!

Good luck...

Might be best to file a Qubes issue against the Fedora 29 template to
help the right people see it.
