Install packages from RPMFusion in Qubes 4.2+ Fedora

Apr 23, 2025

Install RPMFusion repos (if not already installed):

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install <package_name> from RPMFusion:

For free repo:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates install <package_name>

For nonfree repo:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates install <package_name>

Yup, even if you have enabled=1 in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-<repo_type>.repo, its not enough, --enablerepo flag is key. Kinda frustrating tbh. You are not gonna see rpmfusion repos in dnf repolist, even if they are installed.
