Hi all,
I've been trying to install Qubes on a Thinkpad T430. As far as I can tell, support for this should be good.
I get past the configuration window, but the install is currently failing on the installation of the
qubes-template-fedora-23 package, with this error message:
"The following error occurred while installing. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted.
getPackage error: failure: Packages/q/qubes-template-fedora-23-3.0.5-201603081705.noarch.rpm from anaconda: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try."
Any ideas on how to debug this?

my first guess would be defective usb drive / bad download / corrupted copy.

I used the "Test media and install option" when booting. That succeeded.
In addition to this, when selecting the installation source, I went for the "Verify" option (the one right next to the detected installation media option). This also succeeded.
Anything else I can do?

I've already done that, but I can redo that as well.
Question out of curiosity: wouldn't the test media verification fail if the ISO is corrupted?

If you've already done it, then that's fine.

modified ISO that always returns "success" when the test media
verification is run, even though it shouldn't.

doesn't try to download the fedora-23 template during installation.
Rather, it's included in the ISO. So, it doesn't make sense for it to
be trying mirrors.

Version 3.1. What's annoying me is that I can't figure out why this is happening. I even have a terrible photo of the install error if you want to see it.
I'm inclined to think that I'm doing something wrong, but can't tell what it is that I'm doing wrong.

Here is the redhat help page for yum errno 256:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/203603
It looks like yum either cannot access or validate the rpm file shown
(fedora template). Maybe a read error... What type of media did you
create, and what is the capacity?
You could try booting with another Linux distro like fedora, and examine
the boot/install media and the rpm that its complaining about.

I too am getting this error, however this error did not occur when I tried to install the same version from the same .iso a few weeks ago. The only difference is USB size.

I managed to install by redownloading the ISO, repeating all the steps (verifying, burning, etc). On the second (!) attempt of trying to install using the same flash drive, it succeeded. The first time, it gave me some other error.
So...trying the same thing multiple times may not be insanity after all?
