Hello,
Sorry that this is a bit long, but I've been working on the problem for awhile, 
and even though I've tried to give the most succinct explanation I can of what 
I've tried so far, it still takes up some space.

I'm attempting to install expressvpn in a qube designated specifically for that 
purpose. When I try to install it manually as per the instructions in step two 
of the [Qubes VPN documentation](https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support), 
but the config files I can get from expressvpn don't seem to be in that format. 
I tried using their manual config process instead, but it's for ubuntu, and 
since I'm a total linux newb I wasn't able to figure out how to convert it.

I did get as far with express' config as to get the config files in the right 
place so that I had a vpn connection listed in network manager but it can't 
connect, probably because when i tried 'sudo dnf-install 
network-manager-openvpn-gnome' it always said that 
network-manager-openvpn-gnome was not a valid target. I then contacted 
expressvpn's tech support and they asked me to reboot and try again. When I 
did, I found that everything had disappeared. I found some stuff online about a 
bug on Fedora 24 with non-persistence, but that was awhile ago and it doesn't 
seem to apply.

There are two things I'll add that might be helpful to people smarter than me. 
First, I've been getting the following error on startup since I last performed 
upgrades:

Also, I haven't been able to perform any upgrades since then.

And second, it seems like there are a couple of different places that talk 
about vpn setup. The documentation above, expressvpn's page, and [more Qubes 
documentation](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/). I think I've kept them all 
separate and not done myself in by combining multiple methods, but at this 
point I'm not sure.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read! I greatly appreciate it, and if you 
can think of anything I should try, I'd greatly appreciate you letting me know 
that, as well!
