Hello! I am using Qubes 3.2 and I am attempting to automate the configuration
of my VMs using the Salt / qubesctl management stack.
I am very new to salt, but I have been experimenting and I think I understand
how it works. I have written some state files to configure dom0 and I haven't
had any problems with those.
The problem I am running into is that whenever I try to do anything at all with
a VM, it seems that the qubesctl process just hangs. I've let it run overnight
just to see, and it definitely isn't doing anything. I also don't know how to
make it more verbose so I can debug the issue.
Here are the contents of my top file, /srv/salt/custom/setup.top:
base:
dom0:
- custom.template.fedora-24
fedora-24:
- custom.up-to-date
---
The goal I am trying to accomplish is to install the fedora-24 template, then
update the packages on it. Here is my custom.template.fedora-24.sls:
#!pyobjects
Pkg.installed("qubes-template-fedora-24")
Qvm.prefs("fedora-24", label="black", netvm="sys-firewall")
---
And here is my custom.up-to-date.sls:
#!pyobjects
system = grains("id")
#Pkg.uptodate(system, refresh=True)
Test.nop(system)
---
Notice how I commented out the uptodate function and replaced it with a nop,
with the intention of just getting it to return true.
When I run the following command, dom0 successfully installs and configures the
fedora-24 template, and the fedora-24 template is started, but after that, it
freezes:
qubesctl --all state.highstate
CTRL-C doesn't give me back a prompt, instead I get errors regarding pool
workers. I end up using CTRL-Z and issuing a "killall -9 qubesctl" to make it
stop.
I don't know how to get more information on the VM to discover what is going
wrong. I have (manually) fully updated dom0 and restarted the physical
computer. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you!
