Upgrading the Fedora 23 Template
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Summary: Upgrading the Standard Fedora 23 Template to Fedora 24
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The prompt on each line indicates where each command should be entered
|
|
(`@dom0` or `@fedora-24`).
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-23 fedora-24
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-24 gnome-terminal
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-24 dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24 --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync
|
|
|
|
(Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24
|
|
|
|
(Optional cleanup: Switch everything over to the new template and delete the old
|
|
one. See instructions below for details.)
|
|

|
|
Detailed: Upgrading the Standard Fedora 23 Template to Fedora 24
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These instructions will show you how to upgrade the standard Fedora 23
|
|
TemplateVM to Fedora 24. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade any
|
|
template based on the standard Fedora 23 template.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The command-line prompt on each line indicates where each command
|
|
should be entered (`@dom0` or `@fedora-24`).
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure the existing template is not running.
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-23
|
|
|
|
2. Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-23 fedora-24
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-24 gnome-terminal
|
|
|
|
3. Attempt the upgrade process in the new template.
|
|
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24 distro-sync
|
|
|
|
**Note:** `dnf` might ask you to approve importing a new package signing
|
|
key. For example, you might see a prompt like this one:
|
|
|
|
warning: /var/cache/dnf/fedora-d02ca361e1b58501/packages/python2-babel-2.3.4-1.fc24.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 81b46521: NOKEY
|
|
Importing GPG key 0x81B46521:
|
|
Userid : "Fedora (24) <fedora-24-primary@fedoraproject.org>"
|
|
Fingerprint: 5048 BDBB A5E7 76E5 47B0 9CCC 73BD E983 81B4 6521
|
|
From : /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-24-x86_64
|
|
Is this ok [y/N]:
|
|
|
|
This key was already checked when it was installed (notice that the "From"
|
|
line refers to a location on your local disk), so you can safely say yes to
|
|
this prompt.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you encounter no errors, proceed to step 4. If you do encounter
|
|
errors, see the next two points first.
|
|
|
|
* If `dnf` reports that you do not have enough free disk space to proceed
|
|
with the upgrade process, create an empty file in dom0 to use as a cache
|
|
and attach it to the template as a virtual disk.
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-24 dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
|
|
|
|
Then reattempt the upgrade process, but this time use the virtual disk
|
|
as a cache.
|
|
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
|
|
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24 --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync
|
|
|
|
If this attempt is successful, proceed to step 4.
|
|
|
|
* `dnf` may complain:
|
|
|
|
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
|
|
|
|
In this case, one option is to [resize the TemplateVM's disk
|
|
image][resize-disk-image] before reattempting the upgrade process.
|
|
(See [Additional Information] below for other options.)
|
|
|
|
4. Shut down the new TemplateVM (from the command-line or Qubes VM Manager).
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-24
|
|
|
|
5. Remove the cache file, if you created one.
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
|
|
|
|
6. Trim the new template (see [Compacting the Upgraded Template] for details
|
|
and other options).
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24
|
|
|
|
7. (Recommended) Switch everything that was set to the old template to the new
|
|
template, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
1. Make the new template the default template:
|
|
|
|
Qubes Manager --> Global settings --> Default template
|
|
|
|
2. Base AppVMs on the new template. In Qubes Manager, for each VM that is
|
|
currently based on `fedora-23` that you would like to base on
|
|
`fedora-24`, enter its VM settings and change the Template selection:
|
|
|
|
Qubes Manager --> (Select a VM) --> VM settings --> Template
|
|
|
|
3. Base the [DispVM] template on the new template.
|
|
|
|
If you have set the new template as your default template:
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template
|
|
|
|
Otherwise:
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm fedora-24
|
|
|
|
8. (Optional) Remove the old template. (Make sure to type `fedora-23`, not
|
|
`fedora-24`.)
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-23
|
|
|
|
|
|
Summary: Upgrading the Minimal Fedora 23 Template to Fedora 24
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The prompt on each line indicates where each command should be entered
|
|
(`@dom0` or `@fedora-24`).
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-23-minimal fedora-24-minimal
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-24-minimal xterm
|
|
[user@fedora-24-minimal ~]$ su -
|
|
[root@fedora-24-minimal ~]# dnf clean all
|
|
[user@fedora-24-minimal ~]# dnf --releasever=24 distro-sync
|
|
|
|
(Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24-minimal
|
|
|
|
(If you encounter insufficient space issues, you may need to use the methods
|
|
described for the standard template above.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Differences Between the Standard and Minimal Upgrade Procedures
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The procedure for upgrading the minimal template (or any template based on the
|
|
minimal template) is the same as the procedure for the standard template above,
|
|
**with the following exceptions**:
|
|
|
|
1. `gnome-terminal` is not installed by default. Unless you've installed it
|
|
(or another terminal emulator), use `xterm`. (Of course, you can also use
|
|
`xterm` for the standard template, if you prefer.)
|
|
2. `sudo` is not installed by default. Unless you've installed it, use `su` as
|
|
demonstrated above. (Of course, you can also use `su` for the standard
|
|
template, if you prefer.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compacting the Upgraded Template
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Neither `fstrim` nor the `discard` mount option works on the TemplateVM's root
|
|
filesystem, so when a file is removed in the template, space is not freed in
|
|
dom0. This means that the template will use about twice as much space as is
|
|
really necessary after upgrading.
|
|
|
|
You can use the `qvm-trim-template` tool:
|
|
|
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading StandaloneVMs
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The procedure for upgrading a StandaloneVM from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 is the
|
|
same as for a TemplateVM, except that `qvm-trim-template` does not work on
|
|
StandaloneVMs. Instead, you should run the following command inside the
|
|
StandaloneVM in order to compact it:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo fstrim -v -a
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional Information
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
As mentioned above, you may encounter the following `dnf` error:
|
|
|
|
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
|
|
|
|
In this case, you have several options:
|
|
|
|
1. [Increase the TemplateVM's disk image size][resize-disk-image].
|
|
This is the solution mentioned in the main instructions above.
|
|
2. Delete files in order to free up space. One way to do this is by
|
|
uninstalling packages. You may then reinstalling them again after you
|
|
finish the upgrade process, if desired). However, you may end up having to
|
|
increase the disk image size anyway (see previous option).
|
|
3. Increase the `root.img` size with `qvm-grow-root`.
|
|
4. Do the upgrade in parts, e.g., by using package groups. (First upgrade
|
|
`@core` packages, then the rest.)
|
|
5. Do not perform an in-place upgrade. Instead, simply download and install a
|
|
new template package, then redo all desired template modifications.
|
|
|
|
With regard to the last option, here are some useful messages from the
|
|
mailing list which also apply to TemplateVM management and migration in
|
