Bug Description

I installed using these commands from a terminal window.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install dosbox wine default-jre
sudo apt upgrade

Then I found dosbox in the apps list, and tried to run it.

Expected result: Dosbox should bring a DOS command-prompt window up on the screen.

Actual result: Nothing happens.
