Programs Not Showing in Available Applications List

[jimmy....@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I installed a program via RPM on the Fedora-24 TemplateVM. When I run an AppVM based on the template, the program comes up if I run it from the command line. However, I'd like to be able to run it from the GUI, same as a browser, terminal, etc.

When I go to Settings for the AppVM in Qubes VM Manager and enter the Applications tab the program is not in the Available list. Should an application installed via RPM show there?

If so, is there anything else I need to do to make that happen?

If not, is there some other way to add the program to the GUI launch list?

Thanks so much for the reply! You are of course exactly correct, that works perfectly. It is in the Documentation, too, under Common Tasks--I had been looking in the Configuration and Troubleshooting areas. Guess my intuition wasn't that this would be a Common Task. Still learning. :-)
