gracious to all who made this happened. :slight_smile:

i want to ask if we should stop testing whonix 9.6 or not ?

also is dist-upgrade enough to update whonix 10 to these new features ? or i should use apt-get upgrade ?

3

You could even ignore all the “testers-wanted” blog category and stick to 9.6 until it’s deprecated. And upgrade after it has been deprecated. So no, there is no obligation to stop using 9.6 at the moment. I appreciate knowing you test it, because that helps getting the release out, progressing development. But it’s not “compulsory” in that sense (no such thing for free Libre Software anyhow).

Two options:

a) get a fresh build of 10.0.0.5.5

b) upgrade an existing older version than 10.0.0.5.5 to 10.0.0.5.5
b 1) enable the testers repository (Whonix APT Repository)
b 2) apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade as usual (Security Guide - Whonix)

(Using the testers repository won’t be necessary after the release - because then it will happen for everyone from the stable repository. Users of the testers repository help with the prevention of major breakage of the package manager for most users [that are using no, local or stable repository]. I would assume - for some - to their own benefit - they can upgrade an experimental VM and later benefit from smooth upgrades for their production VMs without/less hassle].)

thnx patrick , i appreciate that i have found someone nearly similarly to my brain-thinking.

:-* (one thing it looks strange with symbols here, there is no heart <3 nor flower (f) but just a kiss , it seems ppl in germany prefer kissing more than any other emotional symbols :smiley: )

When I install apparmor on 10.0.0.5.5 gateway and restart,

-whonixcheck fails with 2 errors:

cat “$file_name"
ip_forwarding=”$(cat “$file_name”)"

-sdwdate continously gets denied to open /etc/tor/torrc

-manually opening whonixcheck also shows a msgdispatcher error: title="$(cat “/var/run/msgcollector/$who_ami/${identifier}.titlex”)"

on workstation, after installing apparmor and restart,

  • whonixcheck only fails at /usr/lib/apt-get-wrapper

  • on both gateway and workstation, double-cliking timesync shows denied exec and open /usr/bin/id messages

@z: Did you enable the testers repository? You’re implicitly expected to before [and if] that version is blessed stable. You know why? It’s a pretty simple explanation, but lengthy text.

I recommend to enable the testers repository and to apt-get dist-upgrade so get recent apparmor profiles.
