sys-net does not start applications

[tech...@tutanota.com]

On startup, sys-net, sys-firewall, sys-usb, and sys-whonix start.

I want to be able to connect to the internet (I haven't been able to yet).  So I change the applications to add Settings in sys-net qube preferences.  The sys-net preferences are the only thing I can access.

However I cannot start any applications in sys-net.  No terminal.  I tried also in dom0 terminal by running this : "qvm-run -v sys-net gnome-terminal".  

I can run applications just fine in other qubes.  I have not found this behavior anywhere else during my internet search so I am unsure how to approach this problem. 

Another detail is that I have had issues running sys-net to start with.  I had to remove a few devices in the sys-net preferences so it would start.

I appreciate any help or suggestions. :)  Thank you - techpuppy

You need at least one network capable device in there. Try onboard
ethernet if possible, that is usually problem free. Once sys-net starts
up normally, there should be an icon in the top right to configure
networking.

If it doesn't start any applications try to change the template of sys-net
Alternatively, you can try to add more memory/ram using sys-net preferences and see if it helps

I tried ethernet as a last resort.  It did not work.  Also, the icon at the top right did not show up.  Occasionally, a white box would appear and disappear quickly.

I also had other issues, and I had many errors while installing Qubes (probably because I am a noob and I fucked it up).  I had downloaded Qubes on Friday (2019-06-28).  I re-downloaded and reinstalled Qubes and have connected to the internet and updated :)
