Hello all.
I was on Qubes 3.2 and I've switched of Qubes 4.0 but I have some problems :
In fact, I can't use and update/upgrade Debian 9.
And also, I would like to know how to switch the language of Qubes 4.0 ? I already made this on Qubes 3.2 before.
To finish, does it possible to sort the VM on the Qubes VM Manager ? Like TemplateVM with TemplateVM, and NetVM with NetVM, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using the debian-9 template that came with Qubes 4.0, or one you
restored from backup? I had trouble with AppVMs I restored until I
switched them to the included template.

I think there might be a translation team working on this, but I'm not sure.

Yes, click on the Template (or other) column heading and it will sort.

Need more details. Is your network working? What happens when you try to
upgrade, etc.

My network worked.
When I tried to update, Debian 9 didn't work, impossible to run a terminal, and it did nothing when I clicked on "update the VM" by the VM Manager.

That's the problem I was having with the restored R3.2 templates. In dom0,
try "dnf list installed qubes-template-debian-9" and check the version.
Mine says 4.0.0-201803270258.

you definitely would run into problems restoring default template names in 3.2. maybe the same in 4.0 probably. Give it a cloned name first. But in my upgrade to 4.0 i didnt' restore any templates at all.

Had another thought on this one. How much RAM do you have? Try starting a
debian-9 terminal, then "sudo journalctl -e" and see if there are any
messages from qmemman.
