Renaming VM works partially

[irr3]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.1): r3.2

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

When renaming a VM in the manager ("personal" -> "personal-fedora"), it is not shown with the new name in the manager -- however, the new name does show up in the menu.

Afterwards, the VM can no longer be renamed and other stuff fails as well..

What kind of "other stuff" fails?

Check in /var/lib/qubes/appvms (in dom0). Has the VM directory been renamed there? You can try renaming it correctly there, but make a backup first.

Sorry, I just reinstalled it to fix it. g

I do believe it should be fairly easy to reproduce.

Other stuff means the manager and the menu are seriously out of sync, e.g. I can delete the qube in the manager, it stays in the menu ..

Unfortunately it seems I'm not able to reproduce, but I have definitely hit this before and had to kill qubes-manager and go edit the xml manually to correct.
