## “Failed to synchronize cache for repo” errors when updating Fedora templates
|
|
|
|
This is general Fedora issue, not a Qubes-specific issue.
|
|
Usually, this is due to network problems (especially if downloading updates over Tor) or problems with the download mirrors.
|
|
Often, the problem can be resolved by trying again on a different connection (a different Tor circuit, if using Tor) or waiting and trying again later.
|
|
Here are some examples of non-Qubes reports about this problem:

## Lost internet access after a template update
|
|
|
|
In earlier versions of Qubes, there were situations where qubes lost internet access after a template update. The following fix should be applied in recent versions of Qubes.
|
|
|
|
Run `systemctl enable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service` in the template upon which your NetVM is based.
|
|
You may have to reboot afterward for the change to take effect.
|
|
(Note: This is an upstream problem. See [this Redhat ticket](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974811)).

## Windows update is stuck
|
|
|
|
This has nothing to do with Qubes.
|
|
It's a longstanding Windows bug.
|
|

## Dom0 and/or template update stalls when updating via the GUI tool
|
|
|
|
This can usually be fixed by updating via the command line.
|
|
|
|
In dom0, open a terminal and run `sudo qubes-dom0-update`.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your operating system, open a terminal in the templates and run:
|
|
* Fedora: `sudo dnf upgrade`
|
|
* Debian: `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade`
|
