Debian :: APPLICATION -> GAMES Menu -- Squeeze?
Mar 19, 2011
I think I have uncovered a BUG in the APPLICATIONS -> GAMES Menu system. I have UN-Checked all Games except for:Sudoku, DosBox, Chess, and AisleRiot Solitaire. But all the Games are still displayed that were installed from DVD.I have done a Logout, and Login, and Power Off. The games still do not show only the ones selected.See attached Games1.pngI have tried to submit a BUG Report but obviously I don't understand how that system works, as it just closes the window.

I noticed that i cant get many games to run in debian squeeze. I get errors that are prob driver related. I searched the net and found info that suggest im right.
Question: is there a gui anywhere that will do an auto install of the drivers i need for my vid card in linux? I am learning but OMG i dont want to screw this up. ive already had to dump this OS once because i made a mistake.

I run the 2.6.32-5-686 kernel on Squeeze and the bad nvidia drivers. A recent update, and pardon for not noting which, broke 3d games on my box. From a terminal neverputt yields the following error:
ignatius@lapbox 14:56 [ ~ ]:$ neverputt
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 137 (NV-GLX)
[code]....
I can mv xorg.conf to xorg.conf-pre and nexuiz will fire-up. Without 3d of course. I spent an hour or so last week going over my xorg.conf but it just ain't broke! Someone else saw it, too, and reported it but his post remains alone in the thread as of 10 minutes ago.

i installed pythoncard from aptitude without forcing anything. the normal downloading/unpacking/installing/triggers messages flew by without a hitch. No changes at all to the Development menu in XFCE so, just to make sure, i uninstalled the package, and used apt-get again, it reports successfully installed. and again, nothing on the menu. I tried typing py[tab] and Py[tab] from the shell to see if I can find it, however this didn't get me anywhere either.!

Alacarte won't add folders under "Games" menu, and when I dragged an icon into one of the subfolders that was already there, that icon and the folder I was dragging it to went poof.
I really don't want to learn the freedesktop.org standards just to edit my main menu. What is wrong with this?

somewhere along the line I disabled the description that appears below icons in all gnome application menus. I don't know how I did it, and I cannot seem to find the way to undo it I would like full descriptions under the icons in my menus. I tried System -> Preferences -> Appearance but could not find what I was looking for. I also tried System -> Preferences -> File Management. Neither seems to help me out. This is not an urgent problem, but an annoying one.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and all of a sudden the games disappeared from the Applications menu. I use Mahjongg and FreeCell to unwind and basically to waste time.
Anyone have an idea how I might recover them?

I have some problem making shortcuts for 2 games to my Application/games menu. The menu you can edit by writing "alacarte" in the terminal. So this is how I do, I have 1 game, its a Linux client of the game Tibia, ive unpacked it and its in a folder inside my home folder. If I double click on either Tibia or StartTibia.sh the game starts without any trouble, but if I open alacarte and browse to that location and choose either Tibia or StartTibia.sh and then click on the new item in the Game menu nothing opens. Here is the location I browse to:
/home/som99/Spel/Tibia/StartTibia.sh
The next problem is with a windows game installed with wine, if I drag the existing shortcut file to the panelbar I get the icon there and can just click it and start it without any trouble, but I want it to be inside the applications/games menu. So I go to the alacarte editor and browse to the main directory of the file inside /home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/gamename/game.exe and press ok but when I try to start it it asks for its main files located at Z:homesom99 the funny thing is that it starts if I move all files inside the games main folder to home without putting them in any folder :/
So I tried to write the following as is written in the working shortcut in wine:
wine "C:Program FilesTibiagame.exe" and I get the same error as it somehow think that the locations is homesom99 :S
Also adding in properties of the new shortcut item the following:
"/home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/game" wine game.exe
I get this error while trying to start it:
Failed to execute child process "/home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/game" (Permission denied)
I have put permission on the folders but same result.
As I am going to make alot of shortcuts to many programs both trough wine and games I've unpacked I would like to know how to do this.
I might add that if I open the terminal and write:
cd /home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/game
to get to the folder then writes:
wine game.exe
Then the game starts without any trouble.

I'm running Debian on an old iMac G3 power pc. I've just loaded a couple of games for my daughter but the music is staticky and the cursor flickers and goes invisible. Is there anyway to increase virtual memory or something that will make these game work??I know the hardware is old but one of the few(only thing) things it did well with the old OSX system was play games, so I know its not the hardware.

In recent versions of KDE4, I have been able to assign the application menu to the right mouse button. In 4.6, the only thing that appears is Desktop Settings. Does anyone know when the fix for this will be included in KDE 4.6 updates? And, is it possible to move to a previous version of KDE in 11.4?

How do I add new icons into the Application menu (not the launcher) and into the "Ubuntu" menu with the large icons? I have tried using the "Main Menu" tool to add new things but they don't appear.

I upgraded to 11.04. A app called Pytrainer did not work when downloaded through Ubuntu Software Center. So I downloaded the latest version from their website. It works! However, it did not add a shortcut to the applications menu. Instead, I copied the executable file to the desktop, which is more convenient. But I'd also like it in my applications menu.
How can I do that?

I got a problem trying to add a luncher in my application menu. I installed netgen and it works fine. If I try to launch it from the terminal like "$ netgen", it does work. It also works if I double click on the program icon in its folder. But when I try to make a launcher in the menu, it doesn't. I tried both Application (nothing happens) and Application in Terminal (I see a window flash for a second and then it disappears).

I installed Debian lenny amd64 a couple days ago and I have only got a few things figured out thus far. I got libdvdcss, and adobe flash along with some neat little games and apps. Well I had no sound at all because I couldn't get my audigy ls working with lenny so I'm useing my onboard sound (a realtek). I changed all my sound options to ALC 880 Analog now I have sound for movies and mp3's but not in games or on the web (ie ....., farmville).

I just installed GNAT GPS and would like it to display under Applications->Programming drop down menu. How does one do this? I have read about creating a .desktop file but tried that and it still does not appear under the menu I like. It does appear on the desktop but not because of the .desktop file.
OS: fedora 14 63-bit
CPU: CPU AMD-64
An example file (if needed) would be nice.
Also, just as a extra, has anyone found the GNAT GPS icon (.png) file?

I am not good with the X, How to remove/add entries to the "Application" menu? I am running lucid. BTW, I do not find "/usr/bin/application". Also I do not find "Application menu Editor" under Application -> System Tools. I searched with aptitude and could not find a package relevant for "Application Menu Editor", may be I used wrong keywords.
