@ unman: Thanks and you are right. I should have included the steps taken to troubleshoot. Steps taken: 1. Using a cloned qubes-debian template created an AppVM. 2. Installed onionshare via debian apt-get. 3. Was able to open onionshare but not able to connect using sys-firewall as the Net-VM. 4. Deleted the AppVM, created new AppVM and reinstalled via debian apt-get. Although onionshare appeared to install properly, onionshare was not accessable via konsole nor visible in file manager. 5. Installed in the cloned template with the same results. unman quote: I can confirm that it works fine on a standard Debian appVM. As I'm unsure, are you referring to an AppVM based on the included qubes debian template? Maybe a problem with the debian repo? Did you install via debian repo or do a build? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
