For whatever reason I re-tried to install the 'fedora-35' template - and - 
succeeded.

Based on the 'naming' ( * :4.0.6-202205081759) I initially thought that the 
repos were again pointing to R4.0 - but - they are pointing to R4.1 :-)

See "Log-001" & "Log-002".

I cloned the template - and - revised the cmd until no further improvement 
suggestions were given.

Unfortunately w/o success. - Below you find again my notes & logs:

### Notes

Clone 'fedora-34' template - and - apply the revised dnf command - Not OK - 
See "Log-001".

* Re-try command with the new additional option suggested - Not OK - See

It looks like I'm running out of options - and - I an now considering a new

Or do you still have any other suggestion?

It is possible that running a resource-intensive process inside of an 
app qube could cause an old or poorly-ventilated computer to crash. (For 
example, it's common for dust to accumulate on CPU heat sinks after 
years of operation, causing thermal limits to be reached even under 
normal workloads.) If this is the case, everything could still be 
properly "contained" from a security perspective and nothing malicious 
need be afoot. It could just be that the underlying hardware is failing 
under load, which often manifests as spontaneous hard reboots.


This is just one possibility to consider.



Thanks.
If a cpu intensive task can do that then that might be the problem. My 
setup is old, but i keep it pretty clean so dust/overheating seems less 
likely. It is my "multimedia" appvm that I have sshfs'd to a network 
drive playing music on a win app via wine, which doesnt seem super 
intensive but xentop tells me otherwise. The thing is, I have had this 
setup for years and it hasnt been a problem until now?
