I had little luck with that approach on my system, perhaps others can make it work? But it might be because I did qvm-remove the template in dom0, before I did the dnf remove in dom0. Perhaps I messed it up this way, it certainly won't allow me to dnf remove the debian packages now. Also is doing the 'sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/[email protected]' instrumental to the success? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
