Dear Andrew,

Thank you for sharing the links on qrexec.

I feel that the link talks about using qrexec and RPC. The issue that I am currently facing is qrexec is not installed in one of the qube (UbuntuStudio1610). The documentation also goes on to say "During domain creation a process named qrexec-daemon is started in dom0, and a process named qrexec-agent is started in the VM. ".

Now that the HVM has been created and is up and running, and for some reason qrexec is not installed in the HVM qube, how to install it? I understand that qrexec needs to be installed for me to sync appmenus.

Am I missing anything here? Appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,
Srini

It doesn't work like that. You're asking for an easy installation
option that doesn't exist, because no one has written it yet (AFAIK).

In short: It would require doing a lot of technical work yourself.
Please read the links I posted in my previous message (the one after
the one you replied to) and these:
