qubes-app-menu[70878]: IndexError: list index out of range

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!


As the Qubes Template Manager told me there are upgradable templates
available (even though my templates were upgraded/updated in-place), I
downloaded those gigabytes and waited a long time until the templates
were installed (why is that so slow, BTW?)

At the end of that process, the templates were outdated regarding the
current updates (I had installed the updates in my templates before the
manager replaced them), so I ran updates again for all the templates.

As a check, I wanted to run the updater again, an at that moment I
noticed this error in the journal:

And I realized that one of my VMs not uses "qubes-app-menu[70878]:
IndexError: list index out of range" as windows title where there should
be the VM name, I guess.

Kind regards,
