Debian :: Where's The Menu File
Aug 11, 2010
I run a minimal Lenny install, with icewm. Everything works, but I'd like to change the menu around a bit. I've spent months reading all the docs I can find, both Debian and Icewm, and Googling for other hints. But I cannot find on my computer a file whose contents correspond with what actually appears on the screen. Is there such a file? Or does the menu get sort of assembled in situ from the various bits and pieces scattered around the filing system? Looked at: /etc/X11/icewm/menu, /usr/share/icewm/menu, /home/gerry/.icewm/menu (doesn't exist), /usr/share/menu/. None of these appears to be the right one, they all have items missing, or items for non-installed programs which don't appear. I'm perplexed.

I am using GTK and C and on my application I have a Drag and drop feature.
Code: Select allicon_view = gtk_icon_view_new_with_model(create_and_fill_model(pALP));
g_object_unref(pALP->list_store); /* destroy model automatically with view */
gtk_icon_view_set_selection_mode(GTK_ICON_VIEW(icon_view), GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE);
gtk_icon_view_set_reorderable(GTK_ICON_VIEW(icon_view), TRUE);
gtk_icon_view_set_text_column(GTK_ICON_VIEW(icon_view), COL_DISPLAY_NAME);
[Code] ....
The drag and drop works fine but when I exit the application and enter again, the changes of the drops are not saved, meaning the new location is not saved. I understand that in order to save the location of the drops I need to create a menu file and write some xml, But how do I do this? it there another way?

In Windows Explorer, if a file is focused, press Menu Key on keyboard, context menu will show on top of the file. But in Nautilus, the same action shows context menu where the mouse cursor is. That's a bit annoying. Is there anyway to make it work like Windows?

I have an old computer and recently switched from Kubuntu to Xubuntu so it would run faster. I have noticed that Xubuntu has no menu editor. Is there a graphic interface for editing the menu? If not, could someone please explain to me how to edit the menu through the menu file?

I get an error when trying to convert a .avi file to a .iso file using Devede. If I leave the "Create a menu with the titles" option as is I get no error. But I don't want any slideshow so I untick that option. I then get this error when the process is almost done; Failed to create the DVD tree Maybe you ran out of disk space I do have enough disk space so that can't be the problem. Anyone know what to do about this problem?

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.
I remove the applications which i don't use from main-menu. Now i can not see them from "open with" menu when i right click to a file.
Also it will be very nice if Ubuntu can show me on the "open with" menu the possibilities of applications which can open properly the file type which i want to open. I try to configure with ubuntu-tweak's "file type manager" but it is not possible to configure all of file types. I think Ubuntu's applications must to know which applications has to show for which file types. And i don't know how to do that. I need an application like this : url
I get a new user from the same OS, and i see that the same problem still there... For example many many compressed files, audio or graphic files are not associated with vlc or gimp.
I try to configure from system files of gnome but it is very complicated.

I'm lost in the menu.lst file. I've edited it before, but now I can't get a handle on it. I've been trying different OS's over the year, lately Lubuntu. Now it's first in line (top of the order). I'd like (until 11.04 comes out next week) Ubuntu 10.10 to be first, with a 3 second delay.
Here's what I've got:
Code:
## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false
[Code].....

I am following a guide on how to change the boot order using a terminal on Ubuntu.
Link:[url]
At the Back Up Grub Settings part I do the " /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup " command and input my password and it gives me this:
So I hesitatingly decide to skip this part. At the Open in a Text Editor part I do the " /boot/grub/menu.lst " command in the terminal and it opens an empty file and I get a hunch...I go into /root/grub to check if the file even exists and I cannot even find the menu.Ist file anywhere.
I am guessing there may be a problem or the file is simply named differently for some reason, whats wrong or where the menu.Ist file is.

I am missing the File menu in many programs (Fedora 13). I found a thread that said this fixed itCode:yum remove gnome-applet-globalmenu gnome-globalmenu-common sshmenu gnome-applet-sshmenubut I did that and (I'm using audacity to test) it said that it was missing gnome-globalmenu. So I did Code:sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install gnome-applet-globalmenu gnome-globalmenu-common sshmenu gnome-applet-sshmenubut now audacity is again missing the file menus.

Applications working properly with SUDO only UBUNTU Noteboox 10.10 XUBUNTU I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick notebook version on my HP Compaq nc6400 (Intel core2 CPU T5600@1.83GHZ). Later installed Xfce4. So, I am now on Xubuntu on top of Ubuntu (it seems).Coming to my problem, even though application working fine normally, Menu is not displayed in most of the applications. Ex: Transmission, GIMP, Mousepad, Pinta, gedit ........ No application shows the file,edit.. menus.
Also file sharing is also not possible in normal mode. When I right click on any folder or file sharing option is not visible. But if I run these applications with SUDO the menus are appearing. When I open nautilus with SUDO , I am able to get sharing options in right click. I tried the below command as advised in thread.php?p=6474144 But it failed

I'm trying to find out which hard drive my vista installation is labeled in ubuntu so I can finish editing the grub menu.1st file.
All it says on the sourceforge page is
Quote:
Root - You likely have something along these lines "(hd0,1)". "hd0" refers to the your hard drive while 1 points to the partition. Note that for GRUB, partitions start at 0 and not 1. for example 0=Partition 1, 1=Partition 2 and so on.
It doesn't say how I can find out which one my vista is. So I need to know what my hard drive is in linux. Is it hd0,1 or hd0 or what?

When I search using Places -> Search for Files..., there is an extra directory that shows up in the "Look in folder:" menu. This directory (jim) is unwanted and doesn't appear in the general Gnome menus (such as Places). The attached image of a screenshot shows what I mean.
I cannot figure out how to remove it in the search menu. Perhaps it was put there because I frequently search in that directory. Whatever the case, I'd like to get rid of it. I understand that this isn't the biggest computer problem ever posted in a forum. Nonetheless, I'd really like to hear how to remove that blasted directory.

This is an existing 10.4 installation, I decided to install XFCE through the package manager, hoping to get a little bit better performance. After I rebooted, I was greeted with the Grub command prompt. Not sure if this triggered this issue or whether it is convenience.I can boot into my system using the command line, however, I can't get Grub to use my menu again. Grub version is 1.98 (which I guess makes it Grub2). I've tried grub-install and grub-upate, neither of which returns any errors, however, after rebooting I still see the command prompt. I have verified that the config file in /boot/grub/grub.cfg does exist and appears to be correct as far as I can tell. Is there something I need to do to tell grub to look at this config file and display the menu?

I am trying to change the default boot in grub to the last OS, and cannot find the menu.lst file under the /boot/grub directory.
I have tried to use the locate command to find the menu.lst file, but it doesn't exist. I have grub 1.98 installed and was wondering if the file I need to edit might be under a different name.
I recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04 (lucid) Kernel linux 2.6.32-27-generic gnome 2.30.2

I want to change the Alt+F key in terminal to not access thefile menu (can't think of what it is called but File, Edit, View, etc...at the top). Alt is bound to access the first letter of the names in the file menus. This eliminates the Alt+F shortcut to move forward a word. I don't even mind so much if I permanently remove the alt binding to access the file menus.

The script starts first a program I wrote earlier that collects specific data from 3 online csv files and write a summary csv file called /Tribalwars/request.csv . The seperator used is ;
the csv file looks like this but can be any number of rows (but not to many mostly 3 - 5)
Title1;tile2;...;title15;
B1;B2;...;B15
C1;C2;...;C15
D1;D2;...;D15
Now the next part of the script, and that is what I want to change, asks me to manually input some data I have to copy paste from the csv file just created. I mean if i choose to continue to do my calculations for city 2, I need to copy-paste C1 for the first variable 'cityname' , copy-paste c2 for the second variable 'xxx',copy-paste C3 for the third variable 'yyy',copy-paste C15 for the fourth variable 'points'
Then it starts new calculations etc, witch only these variables.
Now could it be possible to make a menu from the csv file with only the according cells on the screen and that I only have to choose a row from the menu?

am new to this Linux world and a full time windows user. Now planning for a switch over and installed Debian into my PC as a parallel OS with windows.However, am facing the following problems after installing the os.
1. The menu bar is not visible, nor the application bar. I use Gnome and have attached a screen shot of what I see when logged in.
2. I am not able to play any movie files as it says that there are no drivers for that.
3. I do not see anything through which I can see the applications installed.
4. I am not able to access any drives of windows through this. It says access denied.
5. How do I log in as a root user?
I have used Puppy Linux before this and it was simplistic.

I installed Fedora Core 13 x86-64 from the installation DVD and picked the "Software Development" installation. I notice that the Applications->System Tools menu doesn't have "File Browser" on it.
Nautilus is installed, so I can create a launcher for it. I'm merely curious whether this is a change or bug in FC 13? Or should I suspect that I myself deleted the file browser launcher accidentally? The machine is a laptop and I find the mousepad awkward to use.
