Jezza Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I just upgraded from Mandrak 92. (and KDE 3.1) to Mandrake 10 (and KDE 3.2) and I must say I hate the new Kmenu... I want the old 3.1 style back, with configuration and amusement menus, not this clustered view. I tried moving it all back to how is was in MenuDrake, but when I save it, nothing's moved. I can add stuff to the current menus, but I can't move them to be like the old ones... Does anyone know what I can do? Jezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 With 'kmenuedit' you can edit kmenu. (or rightclick the K-button in kicker and choose edit). With 'menudrake' you edit the Mandrake startmenu (these are 2 different things). My guess is that you use now the mandrake startmenu. To change it to kmenu, go in menudrake, to menu-style and tick 'original menu'. That way you get to use kmenu (it still has amusement and configuration in 3.2 :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 (edited) OK, lol, thanks for pointing that out... In that case, I want the old 9.2 style Mandrake menu. And when I move everything back to how it was, and save it... It simply doesn't save!! It does the 'saving' thing, and then when I load the menu up again, or menudrake, for that matter... It's all back as it was!! Does anyone know what I need to do? I tried it as root, aslwell, BTW. Edit: I changed to the kmenu, and now I can't go back top the Mandrake menu... I selected it in menudrake, but it just won't go back!! Edited June 14, 2004 by Jezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 do the following after editing the kicker menu............ in terminal run update-menus -v restart KDE. another thing to check.............. when you're in the menu editor, click the "menu style" button & make sure the only option checked is "all applications", then click on "environment" & make sure "kde" is checked. then save your changes.

Jezza Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Thanks, I have the Mandrake menu back, now!!! \o/ There's something I noticed, though, in the Way I can change the menu... I can add to the existing menus, and I can change icons... But I can't move anything into a new folder, unles I creat another WITHIN the existing folder, which cannot be moved from that folder... This is getting confusing.. and frustrating!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
