Whonix VMs wil not update after latest Dom0 update

[JPL]

I'm guessing that this has to do with the upgrade to Qubes 3 rc3, but when I run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y in either of the Whonix templates it fails with the following message:

E: Release file for http://mirror.whonix.de/whonixdevelopermetafiles/internal/dists/wheezy/Release is expired (invalid since 2d 18h 29min 59s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

They work for me, maybe because you're not always using dist-upgrade.

Still not working for me - but a different error. You're right, I was doing upgrade instead of dist-upgrade, but sudo apt-get dist-upgrade gives.

are you on the latest whonix? for me in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list I have: deb http://mirror.whonix.de/whonixdevelopermetafiles/internal/ jessie main

maybe this will help https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Upgrading_Whonix_10_to_Whonix_11

Ah yes, I'm still on Wheezy. I'll try an upgrade a bit later.

Thanks for your help.

OK I have successfully upgraded Whonix-gw-experimental (at least i think it's successful: I get the Tor bootstrap error message even though it does seem to connect to Tor)

Before I do the same with Whonix-ws can I just check what should be in /etc/apt/sources.list? At the moment I have

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main

Do I just change this to

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main ?

Only asking because the other upgrade took most of the day...

Thanks

Are you following these instructions? https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Upgrading_Whonix_10_to_Whonix_11#Upgrading

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

debian.list:
deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free

qubes-r3.list:
deb [arch=amd64] http://deb.qubes-os.org/r3.0/vm jessie main

torproject.list:
deb [arch=amd64] http://deb.qubes-os.org/r3.0/vm jessie main

[raah...@gmail.com]

make sure to follow the instructions on the whonix page. what error are you getting. if you mean the popup about enabling tor on the whonix-gw template, you can just ignore that.

[JPL]

I probably wasn't clear. On the page https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Upgrading_Whonix_10_to_Whonix_11 - footnote 10 says:

The following line.

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main

Needs to be removed from /etc/apt/sources.list because fortunately, Qubes no longer needs it.

So presumably you don't need to replace that line with

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main

as the backports repo is no longer needed at all?

And yes, the error I get is the popup about enabling tor (which fails) . I didn't get that before.

Thanks again

 

[raah...@gmail.com]

ya I would just delete it then. I have nothing in that folder.

And just ignore that popup, it started for me too. i just either hit the x or hit disable tor and click next and finish.

OK I've hit a problem with this one. I updated Whonix-ws according to the instructions then did an apt-get upgrade as Qubes-manager showed updates available. After restarting Qubes Whonix-ws gets stuck on waithing for Qubes session. Last few lines output from qvm-start whonix-ws in Dom0:

Updating firewall rules
Starting the VM
Starting the qrexec daemon
Waiting for VM's qrexec daemon........connected
Starting Qubes GUId...
Connecting to VM's GUI agent........connected
Sending monitor layout
Waiting for qubes-session...

.. where it hangs.

Any help appreciated.

When did you `apt-get upgrade`, were there any not upgraded packages by
that call)? You should probably use `apt-get dist-upgrade`. Anyway now
you can try:
1. Hit Ctrl-c and start some application anyway (terminal or sth)
2. If not working, access VM console using `virsh -c xen:/// console
whonix-ws` and install remaining updates from there.
