Qubes OS Stable Release 3.2. (Cant up-date template to fedora-26 or fedora-27)

[spud12...@gmail.com]

Hey,

I've installed Qubes OS and I'm having trouble installing the fedora-26 and fedora-27 template. I've tried minimal and the full 1.5 G I believe. The template is downloading but I'm getting an error when it attempts to install. the temple.

"Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'qubes-dom0-cached' -disabling

I've installed the 3.2 Release stable from qubes-OS web-site.

Any one able too help.

Thanks.

To my understanding, it could be server issues, DNS issues, cache issues, or wrong repository issues. I'm no expert though, but it's the gist I get of the issue.

What did you type in the dom0 terminal? Something like this?

sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-26
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-tempalte-fedora-26-minimal

I don't think the fedora-27 is officially ready on Qubes yet? But I have not checked recently either.

btw you can also try restart sys-net and sys-firewall. I've recently had similar yet slightly different cache issues in regard to GPG checks. Restarting sys-net/sys-firewall always fixed it for me.

I suggest you try that first since it's a quick confirmation if it works or not.

Inhave gotten errors such as those building qubes iso and templates. I now break up the components and bud them in small in order groups so I can start where it fails vs running the whole script build.

I would try again and as was said restart the nework vm chain or full powercycle the machine. It really sucks when that happens on a six hour custom qubes iso build and you bogger it and have to start over. Live and learn I guess lol

I actually used the upgrade guide on qubes-os homepage to use fedora-27 :
- https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade-25-to-26/

and switched the numbers. It requires editing the qubes repository file, changing "fc$releasever" or something just to fc26, then it works with 27. No guaranteees though :) since it's not tested, I guess.

I made a guide mostly for myself, if I have to do it all over again :)

The template seems to work for me, but I'm a not a demanding user, and only did it for the KeePassXC version upgrade.
