It's also worth checking to see what templates were installed with the new install. Depending on what installer you used you may find you have outdated templates - rather than upgrading these in place it''s almost always better to install a clean new template: e.g. sudo qubes-dom0-update template-qubes-debian-10 As Ulrich says, starting a qube will (by default) check for updates and report back to the system - you may or may not want this to happen automatically - it's a service that can be disabled across the system. You need not wait for this to happen if you use the gui updater tool - just open the tool, select "Enable updates for qubes without known available updates", and go ahead. N.B Install any new templates *before* you do this. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
