Issues running Bisq vm in Qubes

Support
1

So I followed step by step every instruction in the setup guide to create a dedicated Bisq qube.

Except now when I enter /opt/bisq/bin/Bisq in the terminal as the Bisq qubes setup guide prescribes to run Bisq from the terminal, I get the following message “no such file or directory.

Okay. So I downloaded mlocate and did a little poking around. Turns the file’s pathway is /rw/home/user/Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.9.18.deb

Even when changing to full permissions with chmod, I still get the following message when entering /rw/home/user/Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.9.18.deb I get the following message:

/rw/home/user/Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.9.18.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token ‘newline’
/rw/home/user/Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.9.18.deb: line 1: ‘’

So I tried then changing directory to downloads and simply executing ./Bisq-64bit-1.9.18.deb

Same exact error message. Any pointers?
Thanks

I hope someone with Qubes experience comes over to take your question.
Bisq doesn’t directly offer support for privacy OSes due to the way they implement their own Tor stack, which could also changed from time to time making old guides not suitable anymore.
For what it’s worth, I recall someone sometime said he could make bisq work on Qubes by bypassing the networking qube but I could be wrong.

I don’t know anything about Qubes, but this is how you would install a debian package on Debian:
sudo dpkg -i ./rw/home/user/Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.9.18.deb
I may have the path wrong, might need to leave out the preceding period.
