How to use Joplin AppImage installed in template in the qube based on the template

Did you use debian-12-xfce template?
Did you create Joplin2 qube after installing Joplin in template and restarting the template? Or did it exists before you’ve make changes in the template or restarting the template?

Yes. I modified with your steps the debian-12-xfce template restarted it, refreshed the app shortcuts. I saw the new Joplin entry. After that I created the new Joplin2 qube

Hey @apparatus

Sorry. Stepped away to take a break from troubleshooting.
The steps you shared have worked for me and I’ve marked it as the solution for my case.

Thanks a lot!

What’s the output of this command in Joplin2 qube?

ls -la /home/user

Good to know that it works.

user@Joplin2:~$ pwd
/home/user
user@Joplin2:~$ ls -la

The files in /etc/skel were not copied for some reason.
Can you try to create a new app qube and check whatever the files from /etc/skel will be copied in its /home/user directory?

I created the qube a second time and now anything is fine.
Sorry for wasting your time.
