I would think the error message has been misinterpreted. If you run qvm-sync-appmenus against a TemplateBasedVM, the error says: "ERROR: To sync for Template based VM, do it on template instead" I suppose this COULD be interpreted as "Run the command IN a template" as opposed to "Run the command AGAINST a template" That would be why Patrick found the command not available. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
