How to Reinstall a TemplateVM
=============================
If you suspect your [TemplateVM] is broken, misconfigured, or compromised,
or if you wish to do a clean reinstall in order to upgrade to a new version, you
can reinstall any TemplateVM that was installed from the Qubes repository. Starting in Qubes 3.1, the process is greatly simplified.
If you suspect your [TemplateVM] is broken, misconfigured, or compromised, you
can reinstall any TemplateVM that was installed from the Qubes repository.
Starting in Qubes 3.1, the process is greatly simplified.
First, copy any files that you wish to keep from the TemplateVM's /home and /rw folders into safe storage.
First, copy any files that you wish to keep from the TemplateVM's `/home` and
`/rw` folders to a safe storage location. Then, in a dom0 terminal, run:
Then in a dom0 CLI:
sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-package-name
```
sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-name
```
Replace `qubes-template-package-name` with the name of the *package* of the
template you wish to reinstall. For example, use `qubes-template-fedora-23` if
you wish to reinstall the `fedora-23` template. Only one template can be
reinstalled at a time.
Where `qubes-template-name` is shown, use the *package name* of the template you wish to reinstall. For example, `qubes-template-fedora-23`. Only one template can be reinstalled at a time.
VMs that are using the reinstalled template will not be affected until they are
restarted.
Finally, stop or restart any VMs that are using the reinstalled Template so the changes may take effect.
