Upgrading Qubes R3.0 to R3.1

Current Qubes R3.1 (R3.1) systems can be upgraded in-place to the latest R3.1 by following the procedure below.

Before attempting either an in-place upgrade or a clean installation, we strongly recommend that users back up the system by using the built-in backup tool.

Upgrade all Template and Standalone VM(s)

By default, in Qubes R3.0, there is only one Template VM, however users are free to create more Template VMs for special purposes, as well as Standalone VMs. More information on using multiple Template VMs, as well as Standalone VMs, can be found here. The steps described in this section should be repeated in all user's Template and Standalone VMs.

Upgrade Fedora template:

  1. Open terminal in the template VM (or standalone VM). E.g. use the Qubes Manager's right-click menu and choose Run Command in VM and type gnome-terminal there.

  2. Install qubes-upgrade-vm package:

    sudo yum install qubes-upgrade-vm

  3. Proceed with normal update in the template:

    sudo yum update

  4. Shutdown the template VM.

Upgrade Debian template:

  1. Open terminal in the template VM (or standalone VM). E.g. use the Qubes Manager's right-click menu and choose Run Command in VM and type gnome-terminal there.

  2. Update repository definition:

    sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3-upgrade.list
sudo sed -i 's/r3.0/r3.1/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3-upgrade.list

  3. Proceed with normal update in the template:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    There will be some error messages during the process, but our tests does not revealed any negative consequences.

  4. Shutdown the template VM.

Upgrading dom0

Be sure to do steps described in this section after all your template and standalone VMs got updated as described in the section above. Also make sure you haven't shutdown any of: netvm, firewallvm - you will not be able to start them again.

  1. Open terminal in Dom0. E.g. Start->System Settings->Konsole.

  2. Upgrade dom0 to R3.1:

    sudo qubes-dom0-update --releasever=3.1

  3. If above step completed successfully you should have qubes-core-dom0 at least 3.1.4. If not, repeat above step with additional --clean option.

  4. Reboot the system.

    It may happen that the system hang during the reboot. Hard reset the system in such case, all the filesystems are unmounted at this stage.

Please note that if you use Anti Evil Maid, then it won't be able to unseal the passphrase this time, because the Xen, kernel, and initramfs binaries have changed. Once the system boots up again, you could reseal your Anti Evil Maid's passphrase to the new configuration. Please consult Anti Evil Maid documentation for explanation on how to do that.

Now, when you have dom0 upgraded, you can install new templates from Qubes R3.1 repositories. Especially Fedora 23 - default Qubes R3.1 template:

sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-23
