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!
i never had this kind of problem and can't really help you with your sls-files, since i am only used to the yaml + jinja form. but you could take a look at the documentation for debugging salt: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/salt/#debugging -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
