How to install bionic-builder template for Ubuntu 18.04 in Qubes OS 4.0.2-rc1, Qbuntu

Clone your fedora-30 vanilla template into a temporary 'builder' we will use to create Ubuntu templates.
Top left button -> Terminal Emulator
[user@dom0 ~]$

qvm-clone fedora-30 ubuntu-builder

go into the bionic-builder template and pick your network (sys-firewall), and give yourself 30gb for private storage. Open the terminal for this template and begin.

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

gpg

quit

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

wget http://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-developers-keys.asc

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

gpg --import qubes-developers-keys.asc 

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

sudo dnf install nano 

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

sudo dnf install git createrepo rpm-build rpm-sign make python-sh rpmdevtools rpm-sign dialog

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

git clone https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder

[user@ubuntu-builder ~]$

cd qubes-builder

[user@ubuntu-builder qubes-builder]$

nano example-configs/qubes-os-r4.0.conf

[user@ubuntu-builder qubes-builder]$

./setup

select Y to anything missing

Select Yes to keys that don't exist.

Select Yes to add, this one glitches out for me, but worked first try writing this. Just keep rerunning ./setup over and over until this passes through. If this still won't work, change the pgp.mit.edu server to something else in the setup file.

nano setup

GPG_KEY_SERVER = 'ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net '

Select Qubes Release 4.0

Select Stable

Select none of these options

Build Template Only? Yes

Select your OS template, this example is using Bionic+desktop

Select builder-rpm and builder-debian

Get Source? Yes

Wait while this gets what the source files.

This screen gives us what to do next.

make install-deps

make get-sources

make qubes-vm

make template

[user@ubuntu-builder qubes-builder]$

ls -altr qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm

Go to your dom0 terminal and move the install-templates.sh file over

[user@dom0 ~]$

qvm-run --pass-io ubuntu-builder 'cat /home/user/qubes-builder/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/install-templates.sh' > install-templates.sh

[user@dom0 ~]$

chmod +x install-templates.sh
./install-templates.sh 

After this was done, I cloned this into a crypto version to play around in. This is a cryptocurrency related site after all.

qvm-clone bionic-desktop bionic-crypto

After that, I then deleted the bionic-builder templateVM from Qube Manager to save some disk space.
