## Detect if your issue was already opened
|
|
|
|
If you encounter any problems, search the project's
|
|
[issue tracking system](https://github.com/ben-grande/qusal/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc)
|
|
for `Open` and `Closed` issues, sorted by `Recently updated`. For finer
|
|
grained search, consult the
|
|
[tracking system filter syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/filtering-and-searching-issues-and-pull-requests#using-search-to-filter-issues-and-pull-requests).
|
|
|
|
## Qrexec client shows Request refused
|
|
|
|
The Qrexec call was denied, either by a missing rule, an explicit deny or a
|
|
typo in the configuration.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, it is recommended to:
|
|
|
|
* Check if there is a rule for the service you want to call that would
|
|
either result in `ask` or `allow`; and
|
|
* Check again and again if you made a typo in the policy.
|
|
|
|
The examples below will use the qube `dev` and the RPC service `qubes.GetDate`
|
|
and other common Qrexec RPC services as an example, substitute them with the
|
|
qube and service you intend to use, such as qube `code` and service
|
|
`qusal.GitInit`.
|
|
|
|
On `dom0`, watch the Qrexec policy logs:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo journalctl -fu qubes-qrexec-policy-daemon | cut -d " " -f 7-
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you ave many simultaneous calls being shown, get on the important ones:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo journalctl -fu qubes-qrexec-policy-daemon | cut -d " " -f 7- \
|
|
| grep -e qubes.GetDate -e qubes.Filecopy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can emulate the call from `dom0`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
qrexec-policy dev @default qubes.GetDate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On the qube making the call, run the `qrexec-client-vm` command directly
|
|
rather than using a wrapper around it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
qrexec-client-vm @default qubes.GetDate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Salt wrapper qubesctl command fails
|
|
|
|
The Salt Project has [troubleshooting](https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/troubleshooting/)
|
|
page for a variety of problems you may encounter.
|
|
|
|
A nice summary of the states can be seen with the `--show-output` argument:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl --show-output state.apply pkg.uptodate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ending the Salt call with `-l debug` argument gives the most detailed output
|
|
(may contain private information):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl state.apply pkg.uptodate -l debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Get Salt management information
|
|
|
|
Depending on the operating system of the `management_dispvm`, Salt can fail.
|
|
Let's gather some information about it.
|
|
|
|
Get information about the global `management_dispvm` and the same property of
|
|
a specific qube. In this example we use `tpl-qubes-builder`, substitute for
|
|
the qube being managed:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo qubesctl state.apply dom0.helpers
|
|
qvm-mgmt tpl-qubes-builder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## No support for unfinished formulas
|
|
|
|
If you have been redirect to this section, be aware that the formula you are
|
|
using is unfinished and no support will be provided. It is development only
|
|
and if you are not a developer, there is a chance you will find yourself lost
|
|
on how to debug and revert back to a known good state.
|
|
|
|
Again, don't try the formula if you don't know how to fix problems that may
|
|
arise.
