None vm starts except dom0

I am writing this email by a cell phone

-Changing the kernel with qubes manager GUI does not work

-the terminal line that worked last time runs without errors but does not solve the problem:

For VM in 'qvm-ls --raw-list'; do qvm-prefs $VM kernel default; done

When I try to start a VM an alert message appears in the upper left telling that VM kernel does not exists at /var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels/4.4.67-13/vmlinuz and it is right: kernels are all newer than 4.9.

But why is it looking for 4.4.67-13? Hope there is a fix.

Thanks
Fran

you can use the GUI, just change the VM to a different kernel in VM

you want. this was the same GUI-based workaround as last time.

You can list used kernels by all VMs using qvm-ls -k. Probably one or
two of them are still set to use 4.4.67-13.

Exactly all 54 of them are listed to use 4.4.67-13 except a couple of them that I changed to 4.9.45-21 using qubes manager GUI. But even those two that show the right kernel do NOT start giving the same alert of not finding 4.4.67-13.

Please help me

They are probably connected to some VM using 4.4.67-13.

Check what is default kernel set:

qubes-prefs default-kernel

If it's still 4.4.67-13, change to newer (4.9.45-21):

qubes-prefs default-kernel 4.9.45-21

Yes it was still 4.4.67-13. Changing it to 4.9.45-21 solved the problem.
Many many many thanks
