Problem installing KDE in Qubes 4.0.1...

[Andrew Sullivan]

Hello

XFCE isn't my favourite DM so I tried to install KDE.

First, I issued the following command from a dom0 terminal:

sudo qubes-dom0-update @kde-desktop-qubes

After downloading a lot of files (or trying to, it fails with the following message:

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'qubes-dom0-current':

I did notice that a lot of the files seem to refer to Fedora 25, while I'm using Fedora 30.

I suspect I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks

You have a connectivity problem.

Installing KDE is installing something in dom0, that is why the
repositories are pointing to fc25 and not fc30.
