Hello, this arrived to me with Q3.2 and I recall that it was a real pain in the b***; I start thinking I should backup these under Q4 from time to time :) Question: Which files / dir's do I need to backup in dom0?

Ohh, smart, I didn't think about that. I did this to get the majority of them back; ``` cd qvm-run -p sys-net 'tar cf - /usr/share/applications' | tar xvf - qvm-run -p sys-net 'tar cf - /usr/share/app-info/icons/fedora/' | tar xvf - and then you can copy or move the files from $HOME/usr/share/ into the system dir. I'll add the suggestion to double check they do what they are supposed to be doing (check the Exec line). -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

You are probably missing the desktop files from /usr/share/applications You can copy the files from out of a Fedora based qube if you have one. If you still have the install medium then you can extract the desktop files for applications that you want, by pulling them from the rpm packages: For example, to get the xterm .desktop file: mount qubes.iso /mnt rpm2cpio /mnt/Packages/x/xterm-318-2.fc23.86_64.rpm |cpio -idv "*.desktop" This will extract xterm.desktop in usr in the current directory, and you can then move it in to /usr/share/applications Alternatively, just reinstalling the packages you want will provide the menu entries again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
