Oh, right, a do-over does sound much more achievable than trying to fix the 
problem in situ.  Thanks!

This is what I needed!  Thank-you!

What I did before upgrading debian 9 + kali (katoolin) template was
first comment (#) the 'sources.list' on kali repository address, then
look for qubes-r3.list and uncomment Qubes updates candidates
repository. Then I did `sudo apt upgrade -t stretch-testing`. It will
upgrade the debian-9 first. After everything is done, then I will
uncomment kali repository address and do upgrade the rest. This save my
ass everytime, especially if anything related to 'qubes-gui-agent'
towards xorg-server, pulseaudio etc stuff.

What you can do now  to revert everything you have done is to restore
the template backup. If you don't have that, you need to clone back the
debian-9 template and install katoolin like what you did before. Hope
this help.

[qubes-users] Update killed Debian 9 / Kali template. Can't open terminal. What now?

2017-02-22 Thread georgewalkeriv
Hi Qubes gurus,

I was updating my templates today, which seemed to go fine, until I realized 
that the Debian 9 + Katoolin VM I made per the instructions on the wiki is now 
non-responsive: I can't run the updater or even open a terminal.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Any fallback remediation strategies I should 
try?

Unfortunately, since I was trying to update everything at once, I can't 
pinpoint whether the issue was a botched update on the Kali template or a 
result of updating Dom-0.


Best,
George
