Qubes OS release

Qubes 4.2.0-rc1 debian-11-mimimal 0:4.1.0-202212130502 qubes-templates-itl

Brief summary

GUI apps fail after upgrading debian-11-minimal template using apt upgrade

Steps to reproduce

Downloaded debian-11-minimal template using qvm-template install debian-11-minimal. Use qvm-run -u root xterm to get root access and do the upgrade using apt upgrade. After a restart, qvm-run -u root xterm is not working anymore. I've pasted a list of updated packages here. I wasn't able to retrieve any related logs or errors.

Expected behavior

Running applications on a freshly installed and upgraded template.

Actual behavior

I wasn't able to run qvm-run -u root xterm after upgrade but no-gui commands such as qvm-run -p --nogui debian-11-miniaml ps run normally.

Get the template logs from dom0: /var/log/xen/console/guest-debian-11-minimal.log This will help to find the issue.

I was able to reproduce this by only upgrading qubes-gui-agent and its dependencies libvchan-xen1 xserver-xorg-input-qubes xserver-xorg-qubes-common xserver-xorg-video-dummyqbs. It affects cli apps as well (e.g. qvm-run -u root debian-11-minimal -- ps aux with or without -p just hangs).

A disposable based off of this template shuts itself down without logging any shutdown messages to /var/log/xen/console/ after about a minute.

Note that the attached log includes the initial successful startup (and shutdown).

If the Template stay up, run the following command in dom0:

qvm-console-dispvm debian-11-minimal

A new terminal window should appear. Login with "user", then check the status of qubes-gui-agent:

sudo systemctl status qubes-gui-agent

Get full logs:

sudo journalctl -u qubes-gui-agent --no-pager

Ah, that's very useful. I was prompted for a sudo password, but logging in as root directly worked.

I'm not sure what to make of the output, but I've attached it.

Can you give the full xorg log in /home/user/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log Also this file: /home/user/.xsession-errors

What's your current CPU and Memory settings on that Template? What happens if you give more initial memory to the template?

syntheticdrek commented 1 year ago

It was set to 400MB initial and 4000MB max with two VCPUs. I increased memory to 8000MB but no change in behavior.
