How do you get the minimal fedora template? When I create a new qubes, it doesn’t show that as an option.

Fedora 42 comes with HDR support, what could have been benefits of that in Qubes OS @alimirjamali

Nothing. Qubes OS uses Xorg. And Xorg has no plans to support HDR. Source:

Which CPU generation is depreciated now?
help with using fedora 41 terminal to install apps or anything like flatpak or flatpak repositories.
Hi Cosmic3ye,
maybe it helps to look for such issues at the fedora site?

It is same no matter of fedora version.
You’ve been asking about it in How do I install Flathub Flatpaks on Fedora 38 XFCE? - #24 by Cosmic3ye and said it works in fc38xfce, then that it don’t work in fc41xfce and now you are here.
I think you can’t comprehend solution from many posts into one, so I’ll post one continuous terminal to show you that it works in fc42xfce and in other versions too.
First, run terminal in a template:
[user@fedora-42-xfce ~]$ sudo dnf install flatpak

Complete!
You need to close this template for changes/installed app be saved.
Now you open appVM terminal (always remember to add --user option to every flatpak command - it’s not added at flathub site):
[user@disp2978 ~]$
[user@disp2978 ~]$ export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8082
[user@disp2978 ~]$
[user@disp2978 ~]$ flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/user/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
[user@disp2978 ~]$
Now, still in appVM terminal install packages (remember about --user):
[user@disp9399 ~]$
[user@disp9399 ~]$ flatpak install --user flathub org.thonny.Thonny
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/user/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
Looking for matches…

PS: Installing pyCharm is like ~1GB of dependencies and 1.3GB of IDE itself and my ISP is wonky today so installed Thony instead
PS2: been too lazy to make new template and appVM so made it in disposable

thank you i’m going to try all of these solution , i’ve literally tried everything from this forum to steam forum ,to stacks & developer forum , from fedora forum…i’ve read 30 pages since thursday its sunday… there has been no solution other than it’s something wrong with my dell latitude 5500 and it’s not like last year or a kernel is missing or i tried to add flatpak using sudo command… while in the other thread of fedora 38 , i was told to not type “sudo” and use flatpak remote-add --user … that command with --user does not work anymore i get :bash: command : user is not found.
that is literally the error i’m getting, even after typing dnf install flatpak command… or typing “sudo dnf install flatpak” then trying to addthe flatpak -remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub command line… i’m getting this error with no help or progress. i restart qubes personal AppVM… heck i just restarted my whole computer with no progress…
because --user is not a command
I’ve seen that, you’ve typed
$ --user flatpak remote-add --if-not-exist
which is totally wrong, because --user is an option added to flatpak
You don’t do as you was told
2 Likes
you know what ,nobody in the other post told me to type the command in the middle post above - $ export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8082 and press enter then type flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo … and i mean NOBODY never said type that export line what does that do ??
Because everybody assumes that you could at least do basic things in terminal.
Apps/commands in terminal are run like that:
command --options --long-options --arguments variable <destination>
where <destination> is either file or internet address
I believe in fedora 38 thread there was post that you need to use http_proxy - maybe without address because you’ve told that you used @solene guide where it’s stated how
3 Likes
that guide didn’t stated how lol… i literally found that on duckduckgo looking at stacks and change developer website and fedoras
it’s little different (different approach), but there is proxy
2 Likes
that 1 little proxy line just help me …that was what i was missing to type in the terminal the whole time i would have still been looking on every forums… thank you for typing it out like that .
I think anyone who has concern or interest in what userland stack runs in dom0 should read this
i have 1 more question for you . while downloading kde apps from flatpak like gpg kleopatra keys i get this krazi error.
do you think this is a network problem like my internet connection im checking it now in sys-net and it shows 80% to my wifi ? or is it another proxy 127.0.0 with the port issues i need to type in the terminal again ?
