i'm anew user ... i unmasked the "universe" repositories to install scribus and lyx (amongst other things). scribus did appear in the new menu ... but lyx didn't. some other itens such as games didn't. is there a good way to ensure that installed apps from ubuntu packages do appear for all users? myself i don't mind launching them from the command line but the intended users will not know this and are not command line users. i did explore /etc/menu and /lib/menus (memory might not be correct here) ... but it didn't work. i've previously given them mandrake - becuase even if the menus were cluttered and the desktop not so clean - at least everying was available to them from the menu! |
Quote: Unfortunately, whether an app creates the menu entry is up to the packager of the application. I don't believe there is a way to force it to occur. I believe the apps that come from the Ubuntu repositories do create the menu entries, but Universe apps aren't actually supported and maintained by Ubuntu. There should be a header or information listed about the person who packaged the app in the description. You could send an email to that person to request they add the menu. |
Quote: The debian-style menu structure does seem to be there, but I can't quite work out how it fits together. My /usr/lib/menu is full of links, but I lack an update-menu script to meld them together. I do have a /usr/bin/desktop-menu-tool but I don't find its man page particularly enlightening. Would it be plausible to setup a standard desktop on one machine, and simply copy the contents of ~/.gnome2 into each users' home directory (or host them centrally) so as to give everyone the same menu items and icons ? I'm sure there is a better, more elegant solution ... but it escapes me Cheers mercurus |
