ianalis Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 After fixing my menu with duplicate entries, I've found out that the actual menu and the menu shown on startup of menudrake are inconsistent. This is the case both the system menu and other users' menu. Now, what could be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 There are 2 different 'start' menus: the mandrake start menu and the kde startmenu. I guess you are using the kde startmenu and you want to edit it with menudrake. That is not possible. You need to use kmenuedit for that.

ianalis Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Even the entries in kmenuedit are inconsistent :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinhla Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I find that the menu are inconsistent as well. I added Firefox in the menu using menudrake, click save. OK, it's' on there as I can see it when it's done updating. Then I logout and relog-in. it's gone. and sometime if I got lucky, Firefox icon appears. I think it's a glitch with Gnome or something therefore I don't rely much on that menu. I am with LE2005. I don't know if it's like that in 10.1 though.

yochenhsieh Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hello, ianalis. I'm not sure what you really want to do, do you want to make user's menu to be consistent with system menu? Or make the user have his/her own menu different to the system menu? If you want to do the previous, you may: 1. Delete ~/.config, ~/.local, and ~/.menu-updates.stamp 2. If you've set update-menus in ~/.bashrc or ~/.kde/Autostart/, delete them all. 3. Keep ~/.menu, do not delete or rename it! Always configure and update the system menu from Mandrake Control Center. Now the user's menu should be consistent with system menu. If you want to do the latter, you don't have to delete ~/.config, ~/.local, and ~/.menu-updates.stamp. But remember to add update-menus in ~/.bashrc or ~/.kde/Autostart/. And always configure and update the menus from this user. *: If you use KDE, make a link of update-menus in ~/.kde/Autostart. If you use other DE/WM, edit ~/.bashrc and add update-menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
