Not seeing the same from the guide

[nntn]

If I was not able to get to the installer then how was I able to get passed these settings

1. The language
2. The compatibility test runs to check whether IOMMU-virtualization is active or not succeeded. No “test fails” message popped up.
3. Was able to set the time

It got this problem at the “SOFTWARE - INSTALLATION SOURCE” part. There is no point in using Qubes if the Debian template is not installed. Is this a false statement? Is Fedora the default template? It seems it is or else it would be one of the choices.

@Sven

Hence people told you to follow the instructions step by step, download from the Qubes OS website, verify signature, create boot media and then install.

I don’t think I have a reading comprehension. I explained how I verified the ISO. See this post: The only user who has been repeatedly replying was giving me the run around.

Can't check the fingerprint and set the trust

It unnecessary for you

@Sven

@adw just saw that you complain about your screen looking different than the documentation and he wanted to make sure you are not talking about a beta version (R4.1) of Qubes OS.

Download Qubes OS

It doesn’t list 4.1 as the latest released. It shows 4.0.4.
I wouldn’t have known anything about 4.1
Nowhere it says about 4.1
It makes no sense to even say anything about 4.1 because “DOWNLOADS” is where everyone gets the download of the ISO

@Sven

It would be helpful for you to confirm:

1. Where did you download?
2. What was the name of the ISO?
3. Did the signature match?
4. What do you see when you boot from the media created from that ISO?

Also, if you don’t mind:

• what computer are you using?
• have you checked that your CPU supports Vt-d?
• is your computer already on the HCL? … if so, what did other installing Qubes OS on this computer report?

Lenovo Ideacentre
Already answered. The test didn’t fail. No failed message per the guide
I have just checked there is no Lenovo Ideacentre listed.
It passed the Vt-d test. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

If the ISO name was wrong I wouldn’t have been able to get passed setting the time from the installer or to the point where the Vt-d was checked.

Technically, a developer needs to look into this. It needs to be documented as an issue or possible corruption or bug. The developer would need to somehow recreate this problem to see it. This can’t be brushed aside if you want your users to think the operating system is stabled enough for everyday use.
