Cannot Download Fedora Minimal Template

[sjug]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.1):

3.2 RC 3

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

fedora-23

---

Expected behavior:

Run sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-23-minimal
Template is downloaded.

Actual behavior:

Command runs on 'sys-firewall', gives some output about total download size and installed size.
Final line of output is:
Downloading packages:
With a new blank line underneath, and no progress ever occurs after hours of "downloading." There is no speed indicator, no indication of any kind it is actually doing something. It just hangs like this.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-23-minimal
Wait for it to hang.

General notes:

I would like to set up a minimal template, but it refuses to download. I have no network connectivity issues of any kind.

It looks like fedora-23-minimal is in the repo: http://yum.qubes-os.org/r3.2/templates-itl/rpm/

Are you using the default sys-firewall as your UpdateVM? On which TemplateVM is it based? (You can check both in Qubes Manager.)

Hey @andrewdavidwong,

I am using the default sys-firewall as my UpdateVM which is based on fedora-23.
However, I have tried again and left it running for the past 8 hours and it actually did work. It just did not show any download progress or speed or anything for that time until it completed. Which it did eventually successfully download.

The lack of a progress/speed indicator is normal. Glad to hear it eventually worked. If you were on a slow connection or the servers were under heavy load (or both), then that's probably why it took so long.
