Error when installing GUI-domain on Qubes 4.2 #8285

Morribyte · 2023-06-21T18:23:18Z

Hello everyone, this is my first report for Qubes so if I miss out on some key information, please do let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. I am also unsure if this is a bug report or user error, so I opted to put it into the bug reports just in case. Thanks for the help.

Qubes Release: 4.2 rc 1

Brief summary:

I want to have a GUI domain for enhanced isolation. I installed 4.2 and tried to enable the gui domain by running through all of the commands in the documentation as laid out for the hybrid GUI section but it errors out and says "Dom0 configuration failed, not continuing" along with an error log that is provided below.

I have ran through all of the troubleshooting I could find, including from #8154 : making sure that Fedora-37 was set as my default-mgmt-dvm as well as ensuring it was up to date.. Nothing fixes it.

I also double-checked the versions of salt packages on Fedora-37 and it shows a version greater than in the page linked on #8152 (#3472 in Qubes-OS's repository)

Steps to reproduce:

Install Qubes 4.2 from USB drive with all default settings
When getting into Qubes, run updater
After updates, open Qubes Global Settings and enable all testing updates as well as community templates, official testing templates, and community testing templates
Install Fedora-37 via qvm-template install command
Restart PC and then update Fedora-37
Go into Qubes Template Switcher and change default-mgmt-dvm to Fedora-37 as quoted here [Issue installing GUI domain #8154 ]
Restart PC again just because I'm paranoid and want to make sure everything is good to go
Open up a terminal in dom0
Follow instructions for setting up sys-gui under the hybrid GUI (sys-gui) setup header as per the official documentation https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/gui-domain/
Wait for the output after the third command (sudo qubesctl --all state.highstate)
Fedora-37-xfce installs as expected, starts up, shuts down
Command fails with the log shown in the actual behavior section
Updated Fedora-37-xfce in case it was an outdated package problem
Ran sudo qubesctl --all state.highstate again after updating, resulted in same error as outlined in Actual behavior

Expected behavior:

The process completes without any errors, resulting in a log that, at the end, reads as follows:

Summary for local

Succeeded: 8
Failed:    0

Actual behavior:

The process completes with 2 errors, resulting in an error log that reads as follows:
