Shortcut stop working in Standalone VM

[joff...@gmail.com]

When I try to start an app from the shortcut menu for my standalone VM the application is not starting. Quebes starts the VM. I did a sudo apt auto-remove in the VM and I think it might be the cause of the shortcut breaking.

Try opening a terminal and starting the application from there. If you
DID remove the application you can always reinstall.

All applications do still work, it is just the shortcut in the application menu that broke.

You can use Alt+F3 to sinmply edit the shortcuts - have a look to see
what you are actually calling, and then try running the same command
from a terminal in dom0.

I get the following error when I try to run qubes-desktop-run /ust/share/applications/firefox-esr.desktop

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/qubes-desktop-run", line 3, in <module>
from qubes.xdg import launch
ImportError: No module named 'qubes'

That suggests you have removed or dont have the core Qubes python module.
Run your package manager and (re)install the qubes packages.
