So I got a new Fedora-29 template but the problem is that after assigning it to sys-net/sys-firewall all it shows is something similar to what you when you start a generic PC after BIOS POST.

All that's in this link:
https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2019/01/07/fedora-29-template-available/

Is how to get the template but I don't think I found anywhere detailing what to do afterwards.

I'm not clear what you mean by this: "what you when you start a generic

PC after BIOS POST".

Once you have installed the template (with dnf or qubes-dom0-update),
then all you have to do is assign it to qubes as required. Those qubes
will then start using the assigned template.
You can confirm this by opening a terminal in sys-net and observing
contents of /etc/fedora-release

My bad about that.
I meant to say was "what you see when you start a generic
PC after BIOS POST"
Hmm I tried it again today by assigning it to a test vm and surprisingly it worked. Not sure if a reboot did it but I haven't really touched it since February 4.

In any case thank you for that.
