Bahnhaus Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I downloaded and installed Azureus which works great. But everytime I want to open it I have to "cd /path/of/azureus" then run "./azureus". Doing all of that is really annoying, so I was wondering if anyone knew how I could create a shortcut in my menu. By the way I'm using Fluxbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 If you use the 'mandrake start menu' with menudrake If you use kmenu with kmenuedit. If you want to start it from a run window put a link in you $HOME/bin (ln -s /path/auzureus azureus) Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnhaus Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Not quite sure I follow you. I use flux menu which I edit with nedit. If you could explain it like you're talking to a 2 year old I would be very much grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I'm sorry, I know nothing about nedit. (I missed the part about using Fuxbox :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 if you know how to edit the fluxbox menu (just copy an entry and modify it - i don't remember the syntax), just add an entry that has the path and filename as the executable. i.e.: /path/to/exectuable/azureus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnhaus Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 That doesn't work because you have to type ./azureus to launch it, why is that anyways? I tried adding "{~/programs/azureus/./azureus}" and "{~/programs/azureus/azureus}" to the menu but niether seem to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 try: "{/home/yourusername/programs/azureus/azureus}" try running that from the command line and tell me what happens. (without the "'s and {'s of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnhaus Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Awesome that worked perfectly! Dunno why I didn't try that before? Thanks a lot for the help! I've got another question thats sorta similiar, I've recently installed rox filer(which kicks ass!) and have to tell it which apps to use for which files. The problem I'm having is with rpm packages. It recognizes them as rpms but needs a a set app or command. I can't seem to figure out what app actually installs rpms. Once I can get this working I'll be down to only two file managers, each one serving it's own purpose. If you have any clue on how to solve this problem It'd be much appreciated.
