dr_smit Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 After upgrade to mandriva 2008, I have lost listing of many programs like Openoffice, Abiword, Menu Updater etc. from START/KDE menu.. I have tried update-menus.. kappfinder.. menudrake(no such command?).. but I can not update my menu to all the programs installed.. I cannot start OpenOffice by Alt+F2 as I do not know the command.. I wish to update my Menu to Fullest.. Please suggest a way.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 You can start Openoffice by alt+F2 and "soffice", and you can update your menus by "drakmenu", which is the correct way to edit menus in Mandriva (do not use kmenu instead).

scarecrow Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 urpmi drakmenustyle Then try editing your menus inside the control center ( mcc ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_smit Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 drakmenustyle already installed.. mcc does not have an updater only style can be changed.. 1. KDE/Gnome style (all packages may not be listed) 2. Mandriva style both have the same missing list.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 menudrake is not there anymore, you could try editing your menus with either alacarte (for gnome) or kmenuedit (for kde) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_smit Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 menudrake is not there anymore, you could try editing your menus with either alacarte (for gnome) or kmenuedit (for kde) kmenuedit only edits the existing list but I need to update my kmenu list so that it shows all the installed programs..

ffi Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I would like to know too, maybe someone could have look at my thread too: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=44264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 maybe by starting kmenuedit with root-rights ?, menudrake had the option to edit the system-wide menu or only the user menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavaeolus Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) good to know, thanks, so far I was lucky enough not to need it :D although menudrake was one of my most-hated applications in mandrake, I must admit I sometimes miss it Edited November 24, 2007 by lavaeolus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
