Known issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
- DomU firewalls have completely switched to nftables. Users should add
|
|
their custom rules to the ``custom-input`` and ``custom-forward``
|
|
chains. (For more information, see issues
|
|
`#5031 <https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5031>`__ and
|
|
`#6062 <https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6062>`__.)
|
|
|
|
- Templates restored in 4.2 from a pre-4.2 backup continue to target
|
|
their original Qubes OS release repos. If you are using fresh
|
|
templates on a clean 4.2 installation, or if you performed an
|
|
:ref:`in-place upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 <user/downloading-installing-upgrading/upgrade/4_2:in-place upgrade>`, then this does not
|
|
affect you. (For more information, see issue
|
|
`#8701 <https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8701>`__.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend :doc:`updating Qubes OS </user/how-to-guides/how-to-update>`
|
|
immediately after installation in order to apply all available bug
|
|
fixes.
