NV41 heads Qubes 4.3 upgrade

Hello!

I tried several times to upgrade to Qubes 4.3 from 4.2, both in-place and via USB (both dd and etcher made Installation USB device). The in-place update stopped “unexpected issue” and for the installation device method the usb-device is never found.

Could it be a problem caused by the BIOS version? Currently i run on Heads 2.4.1.

Other rumoers that i heard to make upgrades finish successfully :

  • remove older templates and vms
  • On non heads devices: disable secure boot/bios security chip

Does anyone have any idea? I would be happy to hear your experiences.

Hello, do you have access to a more verbose error log? That will be helpful.

Otherwise yes I would suggest to update your Heads to the latest available release.

You can follow this guide:

Hello, no sorry, i did not safe the actual error logs.
However I did found a comment somewhere that i should try and update the templates first. I had a Debian template that was still supported but below the version that 4.3 is shipping with. I assume that did the trick as the in-place update was succesful after this point and i didn’t change anything else.

Meaby that is oft interest.

Thanks for reaching out!

All the best,
