Fedora :: How To Install GnoMenu

Jul 18, 2010

This guide will show you how to install GnoMenu 2.9 on Fedora 12/13, & how to install custom themes for GnoMenu. I will cover the install feature that is built into the software, & the manual install procedure. Because personally I have NEVER been able to get the built-in install feature to work. If it works for you, Great! If not, you can still install manually.

Download & Install GnoMenu 2.9

1.) Visit the Official GnoMenu site and download the latest version of the program. (2.9 at time of writing)

1a.) https://launchpad.net/gnomenu. (notice: This is also a secure site)

1b.) DO NOT download and install this program from any unofficial source.

2.) Open the archive you just downloaded. (gnomenu-2.9.tar.gz)

2a.) Copy the entire folder (gnomenu) from inside the archive, to your /tmp folder.

3.) Open a terminal and run the following commands.

Code:

3a.) This is the actual install process. It should not take very long at all.

4.) After the installation is finished, browse to your /tmp folder and delete the /gnomenu folder. It is no longer needed.

5.) Right-click your panel and select 'add to panel' from the context menu.

5a.) In the "Add to Panel" window select GnoMenu and click the 'Add' button. (as shown)

GnoMenu 2.9 is now installed. So first of all, you should remove the standard 'Menu Bar' from your panel and move the GnoMenu button to the far left of your panel (kinda like the windows start button). You can of course place the button anywhere on the panel. The choice is yours.

Now, lets right-click the GnoMenu button and select 'Properties'. The dialog box that opens lets you choose & install various theme elements, as well as setup all other options and features... Lets take a quick look at the tabs on the Properties dialog before moving on to the manual theme installation procedure.

The 'Themes' Tab.

This tab allows you to select the themes you want to use, & install new themes. The 'themes' are divided into four categories: Menu, Button, Sounds, and Icons. To install a new theme, press the Install button for the type of theme you are installing and select the theme archive you have downloaded. You DO NOT extract the theme files from the archive. I cannot get this method to work so I have included a manual install guide at the bottom of this thread.

The Preferences Tab.

This tab contains a LOT of various settings! You will just have to play around with them and find the setup that works best for you and the theme that your currently using. With some menu themes I like to increase my Icon Size, or use my system icons instead of the theme icons. These options are all personal preference.

The Commands Tab.

This tab allows you to set custom commands for all of the various buttons on the Menu's. Such as Shutdown, Restart, Lock Screen, Help, Search, ect., I suggest leaving these values alone unless you need to change one of them for some specific reason...

GnoMenu 2.9 is now installed and configured. Lets move on to installing a custom theme...

Manual Installation for Custom Themes.

If your built-in install feature works as well as mine does, then you will have to manually install all of the themes that you download. In order to do that you must copy files into a directory that needs Root access!! We could Log in as Root, but this is not very safe, and it would be very inconvenient. So we are going to make a Launcher that will open a new instance of Nautilus with Root permissions. When you close that instance of Nautilus the Root permissions will no longer be active. So this makes it easy to access directories that need Root permissions, & it does not create a security issue...

1.) Download a custom GnoMenu theme...

1b.)Download: 'Carbon' Menu Theme (carbon.tar.gz) - I uploaded this file - Find more @ gnome-look.org

2.) Create a new Launcher on your Desktop.
2a.) In the 'Type' box select 'Application in Terminal'.
2b.) In the 'Name' box type 'Browse Files as Root'. (or anything you want)
2c.) In the 'Command' box type: sudo 'nautilus'
2d.) Leave the 'Comments' box empty... and click 'OK'

3.) Extract the 'Carbon' folder from the archive you just downloaded. (carbon.tar.gz) unto your Desktop

3a.) Dbl-Click on your new Launcher and open Nautilus with Root permissions. (You may or may not be prompter to enter a password. Depending on how you have SUDO configured on your machine)

3b.) Inside Nautilus copy the entire 'Carbon' folder from your Desktop and paste it into the following location:
/usr/share/gnomenu/Themes/Menu

Your Custom Theme has now been installed and you can set it to be used by entering the GnoMenu properties and selecting it on the 'Theme Tab'. You can download hundereds of different Menu, Button, Icon, and Sound themes for GnoMenu by visiting the GnoMenu Theme Area at: www.GNOME-LOOK.org

NOTICE: each type of theme has it's own folder that it has to be installed into, or it will not work at all. Here is a list of the correct directories..

I don't like to use Compiz or Emerald or anything fancy as i find

I end up with problems with my title bars etc.

Ubuntu :: Mac Theme For Gnomenu?

Feb 18, 2010

I had a theme with Gnomenu before where there was a small black apple for the start menu with a gray panel. The rest of the menu was in the style of the default menu. I have reinstalled since and can't find this any more. Do any of you happen to have the theme I'm talking about?

May 14, 2010

I'm still on that steep learning curve but have been enjoying playing around with the desktop environment. I've installed gnomenu and would like my win key to open it.

How do I manage to do this? I notice in the Gnomenu Settings that the "Bind keyboard key ex: Super_L" is ticked but not sure what this means exactly.

Ubuntu :: UnicodeDecodeError In GnoMenu On Avant Window Navigator

Mar 27, 2010

I decided to bite the bullet and install AWN 0.4 beta, because it supported GnoMenu. However, adding the GnoMenu applet to AWN triggers a UnicodeDecodeError, which looks something like this:

Code:
UnicodeDecodeError in GnoMenu: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 1: unexpected code byte

The traceback is as follows:

Ubuntu :: Gnomenu Reporting OAFIID:GNOME_GnoMenu When Adding To Panel?

May 2, 2011

I've done a quick google search and didn't really find anything that I understood. I DID find a reference to the bug on launchpad, but supposedly it was fixed as of version 2.1 and I'm running the latest version I could find which I believe is 2.9 so I'm a bit lost.

Any help would be great, if you need more info, just tell me how to get it and i shall do so as I really am missing gnomenu. If it makes any difference, I'm on ubuntu 11.04 64bit running in classic mode

Ubuntu :: Install Tor Through Terminal?

Nov 17, 2010

I've always been a Microsoft *****, in that my main operating system has always been Windows. I have decided that it is time to learn Linux, as I am in college working to become a network administrator, and realize that Red Hat and Ubuntu servers will probably be something I work with in the future. At any pace, being a beginner has its draw backs, namely that small mistakes are preventing me from doing things. why I cannot install a program named Tor through Terminal. I get error messages back from Terminal saying it failed, used older files, or a mixture of both when imputing some of these commands.

Link to site: [URL] (Tried to follow instructions of option two)

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Install Packages Via The Terminal?

Feb 12, 2010

Running:
ASUS Laptop X71SL series
GeForce 9300M GS 512 MB
Ubuntu Karmic

I can't install packages via the terminal. For example: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Doesnt work. It gives me:
Lser paketlistor... Frdig
Bygger beroendetrd
Lser tillstndsinformation... Frdig
E: Kunde inte hitta paketet compizconfig-settings-manager

Swedish there hehe, but basically it says the it couldnt find the the package named "compizconfig-sett.This problems occurs in several situations. Every single package i try except "upgrade" fails to find a package.

Also, the package manager "Ubuntu Software Manager" and Synaptic arent giving me any solutions. Same problems. Packages arent available and such. I have a working internet connection and the GPU drivers are installed. Everything is updated. sudo apt-get install update/upgrade is done and also done in the general update manager.

Ubuntu :: Install LATEST Sun JRE Java From Terminal?

Feb 20, 2011

First you'll want to remove the old JRE or openJDK (if you have it). When JRE is installed from the repositories, do it like this: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

Query: sun java Tick all installed packages and choose complete removal. When it's installed manually in /opt/java, see the instruction at the bottom of this column (under the header Removal). If you don't have JRE, then you'll probably have openJDK. That one should be completely removed as well. That can also be done with Synaptic Package Manager (query: openjdk).

Ubuntu :: Install Through Terminal (live Disc) From Different Iso?

Mar 22, 2011

The problem is as follows: I recently had a power outage whilst my computer was running windows. When I tried to restart the computer I received UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT on the classic blue screen of disobedience. To resolve this I've booted a live ubuntu disc (10.04 LTS), of course when I created an ext4 partition and then tried to install linux I received "error while copying files" around the 65% point of the install which has ultimately told me to create another cd, which since without a working OS I can't do.

With the above filaure in mind I looking into fsck, fsck.ntfs and testdisk both fsck couldn't access the partition and fsck.ntfs suggested I run chkdsk (which I thought fsck was the linux equivalent of).So I figure the next logical step is to try and install linux from the terminal of the cd-based instance of linux I'm running just now from a freshly downloaded iso.

Ubuntu :: Failsafe Terminal To Install NVidia Driver

Mar 4, 2010

My new laptop (ASUS N71Jv) refuses to install Ubuntu 9.10 - it just produces a black screen. I finally managed to get it on there somehow by installing it in safe graphics mode, so now I have to stare at 1024x768. NVIDIA has a new driver (195.36.0 available that may support my graphics card. When I try to install the executable nVidia driver from a terminal, it rightfully complains that X server is still active. Ctrl-alt-f1 or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop produce a black screen and a frozen cursor, /sbin/init 3 does nothing.

So what I want to do is simply install the nvidia driver while not being in gnome.

I suspect that my xorg.conf file does not allow anything but 1024x768 (safe graphics mode). It's very frustrating. Any ideas how I can install the driver while being in simple failsafe command line mode or something?
