I have been able to launch .desktop applications in a specific WorkSpace, but I want to be able to automatically launch the application I am using as AppImage when I start AppVM.
Disassemble AppImage? There was also a method to register a file created by disassembling the AppImage, but is it possible to execute the AppImage itself as a file?
You need to copy the .desktop file to the ~/.local/share/application in app qube by following the guide in the first link (make sure to change the Exec= path to the AppImage), then create a link to your AppImage .dektop file ~/.local/share/application/app.desktop in ~/.config/autostart/ by following the guide in the second link.
The .desktop file in this directory has been copied to ~/.local/share/application/. The AppImage has been given execute permission and the .desktop file link copied to ~/.config/autostart/ using the ln -s commandThe file has been copied to ~/.config/autostart/ with the ln -s command.
Should the squashfs-root file name not be changed? Iām going to try again with the steps from the beginning to see if Iāve missed something.
Iāve just noticed, it should be ~/.local/share/applications directory, not ~/.local/share/application directory.
Move your An.desktop file to the ~/.local/share/applications directory and create a link to it.
I see that ln -s succeeds even without āsā."I ran it with ā/applicationsā and it no longer results in a broken link.
However, it still does not seem to start automatically when I start untrusted.The same thing happened when I gave the .desktop file in /share/applications/ , permission to run as a program and then ln -s again.
Are you able to start the app using Qubes Application Menu?
If you donāt see it available then:
Refresh the Applications list for the app qube. In the Qubes Menu for the app qube* launch the Qube Settings. Then go to the Applications tab and click āRefresh Applicationsā
Thank you.āRefresh Applicationsā now shows up in the Applications menu!However, restarting AppQube has not led to an automatic start.
When I click on an application in the Applications Menu, the application does not seem to start up.If I start AppImage in the folder directly, it starts up.
