missing a dom0-update-download file?

[seshu]

I think I screwed something up :) as I was trying to reinstall the xorg-x11-nouveau driver.

When I rebooted, the qubes manager doesn't work, my usb mouse doesn't work and when I try to reinstall packages with qubes-dom0-update I get an error message saying that the following file is missing:

/usr/lib/qubes/qubes-dom0-update-download or something like this. I'm going from memory.

It seems to be a file got erased that would handle downloads for the dom0-updater?

Any way to fix this or do I need to re-install the OS?

Thanks!

When you uninstalled the driver, it probably took some critical Qubes
packages with it. If you can, check your dnf log in dom0's /var/log and
you might be able to tell which. You'd have to download the package and
copy it over manually and install. If my backups were recent, I'd just
reinstall Qubes instead.

Ok thanks. I was working with 4.0.1rc2 and the system isn't production for me yet. I'm still learning, which is why I was playing with the video drivers. I do have some backups which will be a good way to practice working with that as well. Good learning opportunity :) I'll reinstall Qubes. Thanks for the heads up about where the log files are. I'll take a look at that just to learn.

Thanks!
