This is why `qvm-run disp2571 firefox` works. The use of `--service qubes.StartApp+` tries to start an application using a *desktop file* - in Debian, the file for the firefox application is called firefox-esr - it's at /usr/share/applications/firefox-esr.desktop So with that usage you need: `qvm-run --dispvm=deb-10-java-dvm --service qubes.StartApp+firefox-esr` xterm does not have a desktop file - so you cant use the `--service qubes.StartApp+` approach at all unless you provide one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Well they are related, but they are not the same thing: disp2571 is the disposable, while deb-10-java-dvm is the template that generates the disposable. The same happens using disposable template fedora-32-dvm that comes preinstalled with Qubes release 4.0. I remember that in the past (not sure which Qubes release) writing the disposable name in the search field of the Qubes Manager, then the correct disposable appeared and it was possible to use "run command in qube" to start additional applications in it, which is no longer possible from Qubes Manager.

[qubes-users] Start disposable
Hello the documented way to start a disposable from dom0 is: $ qvm-run --dispvm= --service qubes.StartApp+firefox however this works well when the disposable template is based on Fedora, but when it is based on Debian it gives me the following error: disp6615: command failed with code: 1 any idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
