Update today broke my gateway

I’m on testing using the xfce environment.

I updated my template VMs for the workstation and gateway a few hours ago (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y). After the update I restarted the VMs based from those templates. My sys-gateway has no issue with getting internet and connecting to Tor. Although I noticed that there is a new zenity notification about Tor connecting and then being connected which didn’t exist before. Previous I believe it was using kdialog, which was nicer because it showed the progress of whonixcheck. Now it is more similar to Tails where you just get two pop up. Whatever, not a big deal just thought I’d mention that part.

My VMs using the ws as a template however can get no connection to the gateway it appears. Furthermore they are not attempting whonixcheck. When I manually run whonixcheck I get this:

user@host:~$ whonixcheck
bash: /usr/lib/msgcollector/msgdispatcher_run_check: No such file or directory

I tried to copy “/usr/lib/msgcollector/msgdispatcher_run_check” from the gateway to the workstation and then run whonixcheck again. I get this:

user@host:~$ whonixcheck

Here is the verbose output from whonixcheck with the missing file (without it’s just repeating that I need that file):

Immediately before the update I had no issues with any networking. Whonixcheck was running on startup of each app VM based from the ws template. So it is directly related no doubt. I look forward to hearing some possible solution as this has really put my workflow at a stand still.

Thank you.

Good day,

may seem like a very simplistic question, but have you tried restarting Qubes in its entirety?

Have a nice day,

Ego

Yes, this is a good suggestion. I shut down completely twice and problem persists.

Update:

I needed to get to work, so I came up with the solution of installing Whonix 12 templates. I was able to use the gateway from 12 to connect the VMs I needed to work. Now that I have some more time I did some inspecting and I see that my “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list” is gone, and my “/etc/tor/torrc” is overwritten back to default! So I’m assuming that things all over could have been overwritten. I should mention that I did the update via “Qubes VM manager > Run command in VM”, not with a terminal. I guess that must force yes for all questions, including overwriting confs?

I thought the best course of action would be to completely remove the gateway template and vm. I have just reinstalled it and I will stay on stable branch. Next I will attempt to roll back my workstation template to stable because replacing that is not a future I wish to see. I have 10 different app VMs using it as a template.

I will update.

Update 2

After connecting my ws template to the new sys-gateway and doing another apt update and upgrade I saw that a new package to be installed was none other than: msgcollector (and a few others). So I let apt-get do it’s thing and I seem to be ok now.

We need people using the testers repository. Please consider cloning the template to have a working backup around before upgrading. Otherwise updates might go to stable. The bad awakening would happen then.

My hypothesis for now is, that the upgrade was incomplete. That the newer msgcollector package (2.4-1) has not been installed. That things don’t play together then is to be expected.

whonixcheck is no longer automatically started in the workstation(s) by default in Qubes-Whonix 12. This is called silent mode.

[b]I should mention that I did the update via "Qubes VM manager > Run command in VM", not with a terminal.[/b] I guess that must force yes for all questions, including overwriting confs?
No. Not to my knowledge. Stdin attached or not. apt-get should not automate (without --yes and so forth). However, you really should run the update commands in a terminal. Otherwise you won't see what's going on. (https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Update)

I am on testing branch in Qubes. Stable, Testing, and Development all resulted in the same problem with me for both qubes-template-whonix-gw and qubes-template-whonix-gw-experimental

The only solution that I could come up with was:

sudo yum erase qubes-template-whonix-gw* -y && sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-whonix-gw* -y

sudo apt-get update breaks the gateways, so the only solution I could find was to leave them out-of-date for now.

How are people getting the whonix 12 templates? What repos am I missing? I have community templates enabled in qubes. . .

I am redownloading/installing/updating a new qubes-template-whonix-gw (11 at time of writing) with the stable repository at this moment… It will not be updating msgcollector or any other Whonix packages…

Qubes-Whonix 12 developers-only !test-only! images available:

(
Release candidate ‘soon’:

build Qubes-Whonix 12.0.0.2.7 RC templates
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1376 )

Updating the gateway from stable repos didn’t break anything.

Workaround when using the Whonix testers repository…

Systemd leftovers from Whonix 11’s fault. To unbreak after updating from testers repository… Run the following commands in your TemplateVMs.

Then shutdown and restart sys-whonix and whonix.

Working on a fix.

[hr]

More technical information:

In Whonix 11 -> Whonix 12 updated images, due to the left overs… qubes-firewall.service conflicts with qubes-whonix-firewall.service. Neither one gets load. No worries. Even without firewall being load, no leaks are possible. (IP forwarding is disabled, traffic isn’t just forwarded to clearnet by anything.)

There is another issue related to qubes-whonix-postinit and /usr/lib/qubes-whonix/bind-directories.

Perhaps also wrong systemd dependencies.

I don’t recommend updating from the testers repository in meanwhile unless you want to help fix this.

I have nothing relating to qubes in /etc/systemd/

I have downloaded clean copy of qubes-template-whonix-gw

made a copy

dist-upgrade copy

run the above 4 commands provided by adrelanos in copied template

created TemplateBased ProxyVM

Started ProxyVM

"sudo service tor status" returned non-zero exit code , which means Tor does NOT work. Maybe your Whonix-Gateway has only one network card attached? Most likely there is something wrong with your /etc/tor/torrc. You can try to manually edit /etc/tor/torrc: Start Menu -> Applications -> Torrc Running: sudo service tor restart might help with troubleshooting.

Maybe I have having a different issue.

Sorry, you are not supposed to run these commands before upgrading from the testers repository.

It’s an unrelated issue.

My hypothesis for now is, that the upgrade was incomplete. That the newer msgcollector package (2.4-1) has not been installed. That things don't play together then is to be expected.

I believe you are correct.

We need people using the testers repository. Please consider cloning the template to have a working backup around before upgrading. Otherwise updates might go to stable. The bad awakening would happen then.

I will remain on testers for two reasons.

  1. You asked and I love you and your dedication to this amazing project.

  2. “The bad awakening” sounds like something from a Lovecraft novel, and it scares me.

Edit: Yes I have cloned the templates now, because sometimes I have to learn things the hard way.

To make a broken sys-whonix temporarily work again so you can update, you can try this.

sudo whonix_firewall

[hr]

Uploaded fixes to the testers repository.

mirror.whonix.org always lags behind. Either wait ~1 hour. Or use this in the TemplateVMs.

sudo whonix_repository --baseuri http://sourceforge.net/projects/whonixdevelopermetafiles/files/internal/ --repository testers --enable

(As per Whonix APT Repository)

Upgrade the TemplateVMs. Then restart sys-whonix and whonix. As usual.

[hr]

In summary…

sudo whonix_repository --baseuri http://sourceforge.net/projects/whonixdevelopermetafiles/files/internal/ --repository testers --enable && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get --yes dist-upgrade && \
sudo apt-get --yes autoremove

[hr]

No worries. Just annoying stuff. Like this. No “real” breakage.
