Marek posted about this on the forum:

I think it should be working now, since it's past 22:00 UTC. Could you try 
again?

[qubes-users] Qubes OS 4.2.0-rc2 is available for testing

2023-08-28 Thread Andrew David Wong
Dear Qubes Community,

We're pleased to announce that the second [release 
candidate](#what-is-a-release-candidate) (RC) for Qubes OS 4.2.0 is now 
available for [testing](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/testing/). Qubes 4.2.0-rc2 
is available on the [downloads](https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/) page.

## What's new in Qubes 4.2.0-rc2?

- Dom0 upgraded to Fedora 37
- Xen updated to version 4.17
- Default Debian template upgraded to Debian 12
- Default Fedora and Debian templates use Xfce instead of GNOME
- SELinux support in Fedora templates
- Several GUI applications rewritten, including:
  - Applications Menu
  - Qubes Global Settings
  - Create New Qube
  - Qubes Update
- Unified `grub.cfg` location for both UEFI and legacy boot
- PipeWire support
- fwupd integration for firmware updates
- Optional automatic clipboard clearing
- Official packages built using Qubes Builder v2
- Split GPG and Split SSH management in Qubes Global Settings

Please see the [Qubes OS 4.2.0 release 
notes](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/releases/4.2/release-notes/) for details.

## When is the stable release?

That depends on the number of bugs discovered in this release candidate and 
their severity. As explained in our [release 
schedule](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/version-scheme/#release-schedule) 
documentation, our usual process after issuing a new release candidate is to 
collect bug reports, triage the bugs, and fix them. This usually takes around 
five weeks, depending on the bugs discovered. If warranted, we then issue a new 
release candidate that includes the fixes and repeat the whole process again. 
We continue this iterative procedure until we're left with a release candidate 
that's good enough to be declared the stable release. No one can predict, at 
the outset, how many iterations will be required (and hence how many release 
candidates will be needed before a stable release), but we tend to get a 
clearer picture of this with each successive release candidate, which we'll 
share in this section in future release candidate announcements. The feedback 
we receive on this release candidate will determine whether another one is 
required.

## Testing Qubes 4.2.0-rc2

Thank you to everyone who tested 4.2.0-rc1! Due to your efforts, this new 
release candidate includes fixes for several bugs that were present in the 
first release candidate.

If you're willing to [test](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/testing/) this new 
release candidate, you can help us improve the eventual stable release by 
[reporting any bugs you 
encounter](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/issue-tracking/). We encourage 
experienced users to join the [testing 
team](https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/joining-the-testing-team/5190).

A full list of issues affecting Qubes 4.2.0 is available 
[here](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Aaffects-4.2).
 We strongly recommend [updating Qubes 
OS](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-update/) immediately after installation 
in order to apply all available bug fixes.

## Upgrading to Qubes 4.2.0-rc2

[In-place upgrades from Qubes 4.1 to Qubes 
4.2](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/upgrade/4.2/) are now implemented and ready 
for testing! As always, we strongly recommend [making a full 
backup](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-back-up-restore-and-migrate/) 
beforehand.

Current Qubes 4.2.0-rc1 systems should be [updated 
normally](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-update/), but please note that 
some templates have changed from the first release candidate. These changes are 
listed [above](#whats-new-in-qubes-420-rc2).

## Reminder: new signing key for Qubes OS 4.2

As a reminder, we published the following special announcement in [Qubes Canary 
032](https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2022/09/14/canary-032/) on 2022-09-14:

> We plan to create a new Release Signing Key (RSK) for Qubes OS 4.2. Normally, 
> we have only one RSK for each major release. However, for the 4.2 release, we 
> will be using Qubes Builder version 2, which is a complete rewrite of the 
> Qubes Builder. Out of an abundance of caution, we would like to isolate the 
> build processes of the current stable 4.1 release and the upcoming 4.2 
> release from each other at the cryptographic level in order to minimize the 
> risk of a vulnerability in one affecting the other. We are including this 
> notice as a canary special announcement since introducing a new RSK for a 
> minor release is an exception to our usual RSK management policy.

As always, we encourage you to 
[authenticate](https://www.qubes-os.org/security/pack/#how-to-obtain-and-authenticate)
 this canary by [verifying its PGP 
signatures](https://www.qubes-os.org/security/verifying-signatures/). Specific 
instructions are also included in the [canary 
announcement](https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2022/09/14/canary-032/).

As with all Qubes signing keys, we also encourage you to

Hi!

Following the instructions at

I have no idea what might be wrong. Most likely the instructions are 
incomplete.
