Hello,
I run the “base” Kionoite 31. Lately, I haven’t been able to update due to a conflict between Fedora updates and the base system.

I am sorry but as I said earlier in the thread, the current release is really outdated and I recommend that you temporarily switch back to the official Silverblue refs and overlay the KDE desktop packages on top until I do a proper F32 release. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So for example, just to be sure, if I was to overlay the packages listed in the fedora-kinoite.yalm file that would basically give me the samebase setup as if I had rebased to your kinoite image?

You need to overlay packages from both kde-desktop-pkgs.yaml and fedora-kinoite.yaml to get a minimal working KDE desktop.

I would like to try the overlay packages approach so I can have an up to date Plasma DE. Is there a script anyone can share that will overlay all the packages in the fedora-kinoite.yaml and fedora-kinoite.yaml files or do I need to do it manually? Also, if I wish to undo the overlay of these packages is there a script to uninstall them? Thanks.

I have created a small script to list the packages needed to add an additional desktop to a default Silverblue desktop. This script has to be run inside a workstation-ostree-config repo on the branch for the corresponding Silverblue release. Here is a run for Fedora 32 with the current desktops I made a package selection for:

And the commands to switch to KDE desktop for example:
$ sudo rpm-ostree install <packagelist>
$ sudo systemctl reboot
---
# login on a TTY
$ sudo systemctl disable --now gdm
$ sudo systemctl enable --now sddm
You may encounter errors such as package XXX is already installed
. This is fine and the corresponding packages just need to be removed from the list of packages to overlay.
Don’t forget to set the Desktop type to Plasma / Plasma (Wayland) before login.
Enjoy you never outdated alternative desktop Silverblue system

I have also finally updated my repository with a Fedora 32 branch!
Thanks to @walters for helping me find the issue I had . I will work on a fix soon.
I have also added a Mate desktop variant !
Please download my updated OpenPGP key and reimport it or remove / re-add the remote with the new key:
$ curl -O https://tim.siosm.fr/assets/siosm.gpg
$ sudo ostree remote delete kinoite
$ sudo ostree remote add kinoite https://siosm.fr/kinoite/ --gpg-import siosm.gpg
See also my previous answer for an alternative way to get alternative desktops on Silverblue (without having to way for me to build the images ).

I followed the above instructions to try and experiment with a variant. It kept failing at the last line with an error
error: The tree file has neither "repos" nor "repos-lockfile" members
I tried to look at os-tree documentations but I can not find the issue. Has anyone got any idea what it might be referring to and how to solve it. I followed the instructions as is on a new box with kinoite-base32.

The fedora-common-ostree.yaml
manifest is not a complete manifest and more of an header to be included in other manifests. The minimum manifest to build is fedora-base.yaml
from this branch (not yet upstream).

I am having trouble installing kvm virtualization packages. I get an error saying that base packages gnutls, pcre2 can not be updated. I tried the fedora-xfce tree and fedora-base tree and in both cases I get the same error. I even removed every layered package but I get the same error.
This issue does not exist with when I switch back to fedora:fedora/32/x86_64/silverblue. I thought packages were in sync with the fedora-32 workstation or is there something I am missing.

Yes, this is a classic case of my images being outdated (there have been several cases reported here). I will rebuild and update them soon. I really need to find the time to automate all that . In the mean time you should be able to manually download just the RPM needed and install them on top.

Ok. Can I use the comps-sync.py to update it myself. If there are any instructions you can give me on how I can update them myself on a separate tree, I am willing to put in the work. I am grateful any help.
