I have searched and can’t seem to find an answer to these questions. All are debian based. I have been successfully installing software in templates and successfully having this software populate the app vms from their respective templates. I seem to have trouble with Libre Office however. Usual…

Thanks for the reply. No I didn’t try a clean template, but I will. I have had this problem before with Libre Office in qubes but not brought it to attention. But, I CAN install Libre Office in the app vm and it continues to work. So I don’t see how that is possible with your explanation of how …

Thanks for that. I didn’t know about that link. I will also say that I did try installing mullvad via the terminal which made no difference. But I’ll read up that later as there’s a heap there I didn’t know. Thanks a ton.
