Okay, I have thought of the "Copy To Other AppVM". But sadly I didn't try it. I stopped when I reached "AppVM", as I thought it wouldn't work for template VM's. You're right, I should write my notes on the PC to begin with and first publish them after I get it up and running as intended - I was to happy about finally gone so far and would like to help others who would like to be able to do the same, as soon as possible as I have wasted much time trying to find out how to get to this step. I have found another multimedia manager called "Exaile", and I have downloaded it (from here: https://www.exaile.org/ ) and installed it. But when I click on its shortcut in the "Qube Menu", it doesn't start. On the front page it says it's for "GTK+". Is it possible to run "GTK+" applications in a Debian 10 (or a Fedora 30) template in Qubes OS 4.0.3 immediately, or do I have to install a package to run it and if so which one ? I have tried to search the web for an answer, and also in here. But I haven't found one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
