The template definitely starts out appearing (or having?) no applications. I don't know how to enable debug mode, and I don't see anything in the official documentation.

Try this in dom0: 1) qvm-run debian-9 gnome-terminal 2) sudo xl dmesg [look for any related errors at the bottom] 3) sudo journalctl -e [check errors again] 4) review /var/log/xen/console/guest-debian-9.log 5) go to Qube Settings for debian-9 and checkmark the "Run in debug mode" box 6) qvm-run debian-9 gnome-terminal [may see a console pop up here] 7) review /var/log/xen/console/guest-debian-9.log again -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The message you quoted referred to a VM directory that did not exist, and I assumed *that* was your problem. It appears that your problem is that the template does not show any applications. Have you tried running 'qvm-start debian-9' followed by 'qvm-sync-appmenus debian-9' ? What is the result? Incidentally, it would be helpful if you gave a little more information about the errors you are encountering. When you try to run gnome-terminal, what exactly happens? Do you see any error messages?

The message you quoted referred to a VM directory that did not exist, and I assumed *that* was your problem. It appears that your problem is that the template does not show any applications. Have you tried running 'qvm-start debian-9' followed by 'qvm-sync-appmenus debian-9' ? What is the result? Incidentally, it would be helpful if you gave a little more information about the errors you are encountering. When you try to run gnome-terminal, what exactly happens? Do you see any error messages?

Unman, thanks for replying. I didn't run that command (sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community --action=reinstall qubes-template-debian-9), so I don't know if I would get the same error message, but I do have the directory /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/debian-9. I've performed an automatic re-install of the debian-9 template twice and a manual re-install once. Still, no applications display under Applications tab. I can't even run a terminal via dom0 using: qvm-run debian-9 gnome-terminal I have to believe there is a simple command to make this debian-9 template functional, but I don't know where to go from here.

I just did a fresh install of Qubes OS 4.0 on new hardware and I'm having the exact same problem. None of the suggestions here have resulted in any change, although I did not try: sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community --action=reinstall qubes-template-debian-9 and I'm not that interested in going that route.

There was a recent bug fix pushed to testing that addresses this.

Thanks for comments but still no success. Does anyone know how to access files or a terminal for deb-9. Have tried qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal AND prompt box says "Running gnome-terminal on debian-9. PROBLEM is - it still doesn't appear anywhere. NOTHING AVAILABLE - files,terminal, anything.

You can have both installed tho and use nemo for regular purposes. Thunar is another good file manager (dom0 uses it) and it comes with a GUI bulk rename tool that can be handy. I'm not sure how to enable the qubes specific actions in a non-default file manager like nemo tho. It's possible to create custom actions but i haven't really looked into it enough. But yea nautilus and nemo are both just called "files" in the deb VMs. You can manually edit the desktop files so they'll display the proper names to distinguish them. -- Jackie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
