That's all there is to it. In your case, I suspect that the appmenus have not been correctly set, so that they still refer to 'custom-disposablevm-template', instead of using that as the basis for a disposableVM. You can try running the command `qvm-features custom-disposablevm-template appmenus-dispvm 1`, although there was an open issue about this command failing in some cases. In dom0, (and therefore the menus), the difference is between: qvm-run custom-disposablevm-template --service qubes.StartApp+xterm and qvm-run dispvm=custom-disposablevm-template --service qubes.StartApp+xterm hth unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] DisposableVM Help
I have a debian-10-dvm and a whonix-ws-15-dvm. I also had a fedora-30-dvm, but when upgrading to fedora-32, I followed "Creating a New DisposableVM Template" here: (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/disposablevm-customization/), so no longer have the fedora-30-dvm. Instead, I have a custom-disposablevm-template based on fedora-32. I would prefer to rename this to fedora-32-dvm-template, but renaming fails with 'Failed to clone appmenus'. My main question/problem is that unlike the debian-10-dvm and whonix-ws-15-dvm, opening an application in fedora-32-dvm-template does not open a disposableVM (disp), instead it opens 'custom-disposablevm-template'. IIUC, that is because I am supposed to create fedora-32-dvm from the dvm-template. But I cannot figure out how to do that. It is set as the default disposableVM template, so opening files through the GUI in a disposableVM will open them in a disposableVM based on fedora-32, but I would still like to be able to open an application through the GUI/start menu in a fedora-32-dvm. What I am also having trouble understanding is what dvm-template is the debian-10-dvm and whonix-ws-15-dvm based on? I know Qubes4.0 introduced multiple DVMTemplates, but I don't see any other DVMTemplates listed under the start menu. In Qubes Manager, debian-10-dvm and whonix-ws-15-dvm are marked as being their own DVMTemplates? But also DVM's themselves?
