I used the qubes R3 with no problem, everything work out of the box and it was nice ( i just wanted to say that ).

Now here's the problem, qubes R4 iso file is not up to date and i have no clue why the team doesn't take the time to update it, rather then force every new person, to install a version that needs to be fully updated from fedora/debian to the new whonix 14 ( woundn't it be easy to provide a iso that updated with debian/fedora/whonix).

So i followed everything step by step on how to update the fedora 26 to 27 and to update whonix to whonix 14 and and by all means everything is working perfectly except one problem, ( my old fedora 26 and old whonix are still there and i am not able to remove them by any means).I really tried everything and read other peoples problem.

Will the Qubes team update the R4 iso with the new fedora/debian/whonix ? As i love qubes.

Am using a thinkpad x220

Thank you

You maybe still have fedora 26 set as default template VM in general qubes settings. That could be a reason why you can't remove it.

The Qubes team is actively working on a stable release ISO of Qubes R4.0.1. They have recently made a stable release ISO of Qubes R3.2.1 available.

If you use the command-line qvm-remove in dom0, then it will tell you
what is obstructing the deletion. In your case I would guess that
fedora-26 and whonix-13 were installed by the package manager.

My bad as I have not seen this until Brendan pointed it ok.

I had to download the 3.2.1 rc today and install it and woow, it works perfectly out of the box with no problem, can't wait for qubes team to be done with r4.

You guys being doing some great much love.
