Hi, following this guide, I entered the command inside the terminal and received this error:

I set UpdateVM to sys-net since all my static connections were defined there.
However, unlike all the other VMs, I can’t seem to be able to connect.

Can you do a dom0 update ?

Sudo qubes-dom0-update

Have you ever done one ? Occasionally fedora mirrors can be down for a little bit. Or you have a connection issue with dom0. I always use whonix for dom0 updates. Often switching can fix an issue

Did you make any change to sys-net?

Be careful, if you changed the dom0 update VM, the qube need to be restarted for changes to be effective.
