Kinda continuation of Systemcheck fails for unclear reason , but for Whonix 18 this time.
In recent test run I got the following false positives:
Oct 30 06:33:12 host qubes-whonix-postinit[1420]: Failed to read /qubes-netvm-gateway6
Oct 30 06:33:12 host qubes-whonix-postinit[1386]: WARNING: 'qubesdb-read /qubes-netvm-gateway6' failed!
Oct 30 06:33:14 host tor-config-sane[1689]: Failed to read /qubes-netvm-gateway6
Oct 30 06:33:14 host tor-config-sane[1686]: WARNING: 'qubesdb-read /qubes-netvm-gateway6' failed!
This entry is expected to be missing if IPv6 is not enabled (the default). Maybe the scripts should be modified to avoid printing the message? Alternatively, it should be ignored by systemcheck.
Oct 30 06:33:15 host kernel: faux_driver regulatory: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2
Could be some missing package, but in context of qubes-whonix it’s irrelevant as Whonix Gateway isn’t supposed to have real devices attached anyway. Can be ignored.
Oct 30 06:40:17 host qrexec-agent[3671]: 2025-10-30 06:40:17.997 qrexec-agent[3671]: exec.c:902:find_qrexec_service: Warning: ignoring skip-service-descriptor=true for execute executable service /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.UpdatesProxy
Similar to the other option (already removed in overridden config), this one is only for socket-based services.
And finally, on the Whonix Gateway 18 template itself:
Oct 30 10:10:15 host PAM_tmpdir[1215]: /tmp/user/1001 owned by uid 0 instead of uid 1001. Failed to create safe $TMPDIR
This looks like an actual issue.
