View 3 RepliesI have tried installing logmein in wine. It installed fine, but didn't work so I removed it. Its icons though, would not be deleted so I removed Wine entry in "Edit menus".
after this I purged wine, deleted /.wine and reinstalled, but the menu entries do not get reinstalled. I know how to make launchers, what I want is the interactive menus back (browse c, uninstall and programs)
I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy list of programs under Application > Wine had become messed up, with some entries for programs that had been uninstalled in Wine. I was unable to remove these from the menu for some reason, so I removed the entire Wine category.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt has been such time that I have been making back-up copies of my DVDs using dvdrip. Lately I tried to back-up DVD of Iron Man2 and was surprised to see so many titles under Table of Contents. 93 titles of which re all running 2 hours plus. And so I ripped the recommended one which is the longest running title. Surprisingly, the output is all screwed up. Meaning scene one is at the end along with some scenes from the middle of the film and so on. Is there any way to correctly choose which of the 93 titles is the right one please? Obviously, I can't go through the motions of doing it one by one. Or would it be more practical to just copy the whole DVD image and burn in another DVD instead of making a HD back-up?

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop using WUBI to preserve my Windows XP installation. I plan to use it for work so have installed our VPN client and a desktop sharing application through a .sh script and a .deb package respectively. The Applications Menu was updated with the submenu and icons for the new applications and I copied thm to the desktop as well. However when I log out and log back in again my menus and desktop have reverted back to what they were before, and my icons have disappeared.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded the most recent SuperTuxKart from SourceForge.

The script has no shebang line, do I put one in? Granted I can just create a desktop shortcut, but I'd really like it to be up there with my other games.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 have installed Fedora 14 with gnome. My problem is that in some applications the archive menu doesn't appears. Some of this applications are geany, tux commander, filezilla ... nevertheless in other applicationas like firefox, chrome, vlc ... the menu appears.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to Fedora 15 (64 bit) on my laptop using preupgrade. Everything is working great except for a small problem. My menus are completely messed up. In F14, I had organized my menus in a particular way. After the upgrade, many of items have been moved around quite randomly. I tried to fix it using 'alacarte' but nothing is changed in that - i.e. according to 'alacarte' all my menus are in the right place. In reality, though, the upgrade process has deleted a few menu folders but not the items in them. The items are just moved to random locations. Is there a way to fix these changes these? 'alacarte' is of no use here. Is it possible to fix these using CLI? Where are the information regarding the menu organization stored?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently made the switch to F15 and GNOME3. The changes are a little jarring, but I'm trying to have some good faith, see how I adjust to things, etc. Any ways, the applications menu (in "fallback" mode) or the 'activities -> applications' menus (in "full" mode) have every application I've ever installed, some times poorly classified. I'd like to edit these, making more minimal menus.
There is, of course, the "alacarte" application. While it runs just fine -- the changes are not reflected in the menus (in either mode). One could manually edit the desktop configuration text files, I assume, but as much work as I need to do -- I was hoping for a GUI application. Does an alternative exist? or a way to interface them?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to put a script of mine in the applications menu , so that when I click on it , it executes itself ...so I created a new application by the name myapplication.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ . But when in GUI mode I traverse down to this directory and click on myapplication.desktop . It gives me an error "myapplication.desktop is not a directory". The crazy part is that when I run it using the terminal freedom@freedom-laptop: /usr/share/applications$ myapplication it runs perfectly well. I can't understand the problem...the script is correct , but I don't know about the error saying "it is not a directory" as all the other files in there are also files and they do run even in graphical mode .
