I try to add program to Kickoff menu with the menu editor, make settings and click "save" to save changes. System update configuration but nothing happen. The addend program does not appear int the menu. If I close menu editor the changes are gone. It looks like that menu editor can't save my settings. What is wrong?
View 1 RepliesI delete XP totaly and now I use only Linux.In windows I was using free diction and I want to make it to run from kickoff menu(I am with KDE). The problem is that in Konsole
Code:
wine ~/opt/thediction/diction.exe
run the program but with that command in command line in Menu Editor it has some error with diction database and can't run. I try to use "", but with no success.What I have to do in order to run the program from kickoff menu by simply clicking it?
I just installed Kubuntu, but whenever I install an application or remove one, the Kickoff Menu doesn't update to reflect this. The strange thing is, I can actually click on apps I supposedly uninstalled and they still launch, for example I replaced libreoffice with openoffice, and the menu still only shows libreoffice...

My problem is that I cannot change the icon for Opera in the Kickoff menu or on the desktop. I tried right clicking on the Kickoff Application Launcher widget on the panel and choosing Menu Editor; Navigated to Opera and changed the icon from the default KDE icon (opera) to the new styled Opera icon (opera-browser), but it doesn't change.
Sometimes I get this weird thing where typing a name into the kickoff menu hangs after a few letters. It hangs the entire computer! Once it happens, I try to close it but have to wait about 20 seconds before I can do anything on the computer. Then everything else works fine (after it's closed). But if I go back to kickoff and try again, it does the same thing! I can't seem to find anything in "top" to indicate what's happening.

I have two versions of Ubuntu on my computer - 10.04 and an earlier one that i no longer use. I'd like to free up the space that the old partition is taking, but the computer boots from the grub menu.lst of that old version. How can I make the boot process use the menu.lst in the 10.04 partition?
where is the boot process situated anyway and how can you get at it?
I have 2 partitions (sda1 & sda3). Both have Ubuntu installed on them. GRUB is using the boot/grub/menu.lst on sda3. How do I get it to use the boot/grub/menu.lst on sda1?

When booting up, I notice that my system fonts are not the ones I have manually set. They're the ugly version, whatever exact font it is. It's only when I select System->Appearances from the menu that the system seems to detect my seletions to use Liberation fonts in all areas, and then everything instantly switches to the more visually pleasing Liberation fonts. This is a strange bug, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or can point me in the right direction?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a Soekris net4801 that is running an unknown distro of Linux. The kernel is 2.4.29, and iptables is v1.3.4.
I can't work out how to save the iptables. I searched the whole system for files/folders containing the name "iptables" and got 3 results:
/user/local/lib/iptables
/sbin/iptables
/lib/iptables
I've tried iptables save, iptables-save and iptables save active.
"iptables save" and "iptables save active" give me an invalid argument error. "iptables-save" isn't a valid command. "iptables --help" gives me a list of valid switches, none of which have to do with saving.
how I can save the iptables?
Does anyone know how to delete or disable kickoff menu items? I need to disable or delete the SLEEP and HIBERNATE menus as they don't function properly causing the system to crash.
