Hello,
I am running Crossover (to start Office 2010) within Qubes and have some
trouble with the App-shortcuts.
The setup:
- I have a template VM ("t-debian-10-crossover") which is based on
debian-10-minimal and which has crossover installed
- I have an AppVM ("my-crossover") which is based on the above template VM
- I have installed some windows apps (Notepad++ / Office 2010) in the
AppVM. The application are installed in ~/.cxoffice
- I can launch the windows apps from the crossover menu or from an AppVM
terminal (for example to launch MS Word from the AppVM Terminal
I would like to add a menu entry to the Qubes AppVM menu and tried to
follow the directions from the Qubes docs, but the menu didn't show up.
While the Crossover App itself is installed in a template VM, the
windows application are installed in a folder ~/.cxoffice in the AppVM
(which based on the crossover template).
The following command will launch a windows app via Crossover in the AppVM:
qvm-run --auto my-crossover
'/home/user/.cxoffice/Microsoft_Office_2010/desktopdata/cxmenu/StartMenu.C^5E3A_users_crossover_Start^2BMenu/Programs/Microsoft+Office/Microsoft+Word+2010.lnk'
I have followed the Qubes docs from this link:
/home/user/.cxoffice/Microsoft_Office_2010/desktopdata/cxmenu/StartMenu.C^5E3A_users_crossover_Start^2BMenu/Programs/Microsoft+Office/Microsoft+Word+2010.lnk
I have therefore:
1) created a new .desktop file:
[user@dom0 ~]$ nano ~/.local/share/applications/my-crossover-ms-word.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
X-Qubes-VmName=my-crossover
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/qubes-appmenus/my-crossover/apps.icons/cxmenu-cxoffice-0-29ra4ke-CrossOver.png
Name=my-crossover: MS-Word
Comment=Run Microsoft Word with CrossOver Linux
Categories=;X-Qubes-VM;
Exec=qvm-run --auto my-crossover
/home/user/.cxoffice/Microsoft_Office_2010/desktopdata/cxmenu/StartMenu.C^5E3A_users_crossover_Start^2BMenu/Programs/Microsoft+Office/Microsoft+Word+2010.lnk
2) added the newly creaed my-crossover-ms-word.desktop file to a new
.menu file (as mentioned in the Qubes docs)
[user@dom0 ~]$ cat ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/my-crossover-vm.menu
<Menu>
<Name>MS-Word</Name>
<Include>
<Filename>my-crossover-ms-word.desktop</Filename>
</Include>
</Menu>
BUT ... doing so, is _not_ adding anything the applications menu of my
AppVM.
Any ideas what I am missing?
