plasma5 - how to update menus
Hi folks, I installed a new application (not from repo), and there is a *.desktop file in /usr/share/applications. But I the new application does not appear in the menus of plasma5/kde. How can I force, to recreate the menus in plasma5? I tried "update-menus", "kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental" and "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" as well without any success. I also removed ~/.local/share/applications away - with no success. Is there any other way, to recreate the menus in plasma5? Thanks for any hints. Best regards Hans

update-menus als user?
Hallo Liste. Ich habe hier und zuhause ein Problem. Ich moechte gerne das Debian eigene Menusystem benutzen. Dafuer habe ich schon das Verz. .menu erstellt, mit einer Beispieldatei.

Ich konnte nur ueber Umwege eine Konfigdatei erzeugen, durch erzeugen der date ./menu-methods/cat. Dann habe ich die date /tmp/menu-stdin /etc/menu-methods uebergeben/. Schwups da wurde die Datei erzeugt. Kann mir jemand helfen?

Gnome + Nautilus + update-menus
Hallo Leute, ich habe vor ein paar Tagen (nachdem ich mir mit Gnome und Natilus aus woody im Laufe der Zeit einen angemessenen Desktop zusammengebastelt habe) den Fehler gemacht, erstmals update-menus aufzurufen. Das Ergebnis ist verheerend: Bei Ausführung des Kommandos wurden mir in der Gnome-Session neue Icons auf den Desktop geschaufelt, die teilweise die von Nautilus überlagert haben. Naja... Beim nächsten Start von Gnome sieht man erst einen Desktop mit den neuen Icons, dann einen leeren, auf den dann die Nautilus-Icons *langsam* erscheinen. Die Startzeit von Gnome hat sich dadurch auf ein Vielfaches verlängert. Danach schien aber alles ok zu sein, also habe ich diesen Effekt erst einmal nicht weiter beachtet. Heute war nun das Chaos perfekt. Mehrfacher (Re-)Start von gdm, ohne Änderung. Der Nautilus-Desktop wird zwar noch ordentlich hingezaubert (natürlich saulangsam), aber ich bekomme nicht ein einziges Panel zu sehen. Wie eine Endlosschleife sieht es aber auch nicht aus, denn die CPU idlet so vor sich hin. menu komplett zu deinstallieren ist ja wohl nicht möglich (Abhängigkeiten), deshalb habe ich diverse logfiles untersucht, ohne dass mir etwas besonderes aufgefallen wäre. Also habe ich erst einmal einige Gnome-Unterverzeichnisse in meinem $HOME umbenannt. Damit kann ich Gnome (auch wieder schön schnell) starten. Allerdings ist damit natürlich auch mein angepasster Desktop im Eimer. :-( Kann mir einer sagen, wie ich meinen Desktop wieder auf den gewünschten Stand bringe? Ich habe noch einige Sicherungen der vorhergehenden Tage rumliegen, aber was darf ich nicht zurückspielen, damit der Desktop wieder ordentlich ist? Wenn einer weiß, welche Datei ich wie beackern muss, versuche ich es natürlich auch händisch. Kann man update-menus beibringen, die Finger vom Desktop zu lassen und nur die Menü-Eintrage zu ergänzen?

Hans-Georg Bork wrote: man update-menus man menufile schon gelesen? Hallo Hans-Georg, sagen wir überflogen. Aber ich habe weder einen Ansatz zur Wechselwirkung mit Nautilus gesehen noch wie ich diesen doppelten Desktop wieder rückgängig mache. :-( Die verschiedenen genannten menu-files haben mich auf die Schnelle auch nicht weiter gebracht. Vor allem sehe ich keinen Hinweis darauf, was diese Menues mit dem doppelten Desktop und deren Icons zu tun haben. Liegt vielleicht auch daran, mir jetzt erst einmal einiges wieder so hinzubiegen, dass ich einigermaßen bequem lesen kann. Ohne die Augen in die Hand nehmen zu müssen... Mehrere Terminalfenster mit Scrollbar sind einfach angenehmer als ASCII-Consolen. ;-) Also wenn Du da noch ein Stichwort hättest, wäre ich echt dankbar! Gruß Rüdiger -- __ Gesendet von Yahoo!

the menu utilities aren't working. I tried to reinstall the menu

And the script keep waiting... the file /var/run/update-menus.pid
is created without any problems. The manpage for flock(2) says it
doesn't work over NFS, maybe there is a relation?
Running gdb /usr/bin/update-menus, I get:

users and menus, update-menus
Where/when does gnome get its menus? If I make a change to /etc/menu and run update-menus as root I see the changes immediately in the gnome/debian menus. However if I make a change to ~/.menu and run update-menus as a user I do *not* see that anything has happened. Also, the 'sort' option doesn't seem to work. In the Apps/Programming section all the entries are uppercase except 'elk' so 'elk' shows last in the menu. Adding 'sort=ELK' to the menu entry doesn't change its position.

enlightenment and update-menus
Hi I was trying enlightenment this morning and I had some problems with the system menus. it would only give the system menus not my personal menus (include $HOME/.menu/ directory). I played a little with '/etc/menu-methods/enlightenment': commented out the 'onlyrunasroot' setting (what is it anyway, it doesn't appear in any of the other files in this directory), and uncommented 'userprefix=$HOME/.enlightenment/menus_debian/;'. when trying to run update-menu as a user now, I got this error: cat: /home/haim//.enlightenment/menus_debian/debian_menu_sh: No such file or directory. (which is true but there's no debian_menu_sh file anywhere and still it updates the system menus...). any suggestions? (forgot to mention: I'm running potato) Bye -- Haim

I got this to work with one menu file I added, but I've added three more since and they don't show up. here's one that I am trying to get to work, this is /etc/menu/jed: ?package(jed):needs=text \ section=Apps/Editors \ title=jed \ command=/usr/bin/jed just as a comparison, here is my emacs, which does work, /usr/lib/menu/emacs20: ?package(emacs20):\ needs=text\ section=Apps/Editors\ title=Emacs 20\ command=/usr/bin/emacs20\ icon=/usr/share/emacs/20.7/etc/gnu.xpm the only difference is the icon, but that shouldn't matter.. when I run update-menus (as root) it doesn't add the jed menu item. the docs say that anything in /etc/menu will override /usr/lib/menu any ideas? thanks! xucaen __ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

RE: update-menus
Yeah, the problem is vtwm doesn't have a #include directive for reading multiple files on startup. Shouldn't be too hard to hack the source to do this. Though I'm wary of doing stuff like this because it's not very portable, in the sense that I would have to compile my own custom vtwm if I change machines. The other option I was thinking about is to run some kind of preprocessor, like cpp or m4, from my .xinitrc for example. -chris On Mon, 20 Nov 2000, Sean 'Shaleh' Perry wrote: On 19-Nov-2000 Krzys Majewski wrote: How can I make update-menus coexist with my custom wm config files?

Re: dpkg --getselections, apt, and update-menus
Mmm. I'm reading via the web site, as I am not subscribed to this list... makes replying a little harder. Maybe I ought to specifically ask CC:'s to me. getselections is supposed to be current. A package marked deinstall is removed, but not purged. Or at least it is expected to be. On my machine, it definately doesn't work like that. I just tested it. Changed a selection in dselect, but didn't do an Install, the selection change was evident in dpkg --get-selections. I don't think that's what Sean meant. If, in dselect, you use '-' to mark a package for removal - or use 'apt-get remove' - then a package's configuration files won't be removed, and some state about the package will remain in the system. However, if you use '_' in dselect, or 'apt-get --purge remove', then the package's configuration files will be removed too, and /var/lib/dpkg/status will forget that it ever existed. Um, that's kind of not what I meant either. I wasn't replying to the remove/purge thing, rather just stating the fact that --get-selections does not coincide with the current state of the machine. Rather with the future desired state of the machine. a) # dpkg --get-selections|sed -e 's/deinstall$/install/'|dpkg --set-selections # apt-get dselect-upgrade Ah yes... sed. The problem with this is, it will also install the packages that are not installed (that are really currently deinstalled). No, completely uninstalled (purged or never installed) packages don't show up in 'dpkg --get-selections' at all. I was here referring to packages that have been removed, but not purged. They show up in --get-selections, and will be installed by these commands. All I was aiming to do was get the selections to match with the current state of the machine. I think the best way to go about his is sed'ing through the status file. Thanks, Hugo van der Merwe

Oops, yes, I must have got confused about that; sorry for the misinformation. In fact, looking at the source, 'dpkg --get-selections' simply lists the desired state of all packages except those which are already in the not-installed state. I wonder if this slows down the installation process and if `purging' the status file from those purged package entries would help, but I didn't dare that as yet. You could try 'dpkg --forget-old-unavail', which removes entries from the status file which are not installed and no longer available. On my system that only reduced the size of the status file by about 30K, but the last time I ran that command was only a few months ago. I suspect that reading the status file doesn't actually take all that long; the most time-consuming part (though I've never profiled it to find out) is probably reading the lists of files in each package to make sure they aren't accidentally overwritten. Since each package's file list is kept in a separate file in /var/lib/dpkg/info, it takes a lot of system calls to do this, which is slow. Also, /var/lib/dpkg/info is very large on most systems, and the ext2 filesystem searches through such directories linearly (hence slowly). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dpkg --getselections, apt, and update-menus
Lately I've been using console-apt for installations, but I tend to run dselect, just to see what packages are new. As such, everytime I ran it, a couple of package selections changed due to upgrades, depencencies, etc. I didn't care about it, as I don't use dselect anymore. I found it rather odd that many things were no longer on my system's menu system. That's when I studied how update-menu's generates the menu. I noticed it used dpkg --get-selections, which I ran myself, and noticed the hundreds of deinstall selections, and realised what the fault was. I just went through dselect and selected everything that was installed, that fixed up my system. A couple of ways I could have avoided this: - Is there some other easy way to see what packages are new? I would prefer to not use dselect at all, but this is something I really like. I thought of making this a wishlist bug for console-apt, but I don't think it will fit in well with the current (simple/unbloated/fast) design of capt (I like capt being as fast as possible, for use on old computers, so maybe `list-new-packages` should be a seperate program). One needs a backup of the previous package lists to do this. I think dselect did this with /var/lib/dpkg/available[-old], does using only apt/capt update these files, or possibly not the -old one? - Maybe update-menus should rather look at what is currently installed, rather than what the selections for the next install/remove operation will be. It does seem to make more sense to me. - This is maybe the best/most useful solution at this point: some easy way to sync the selections with what is currently installed? i.e. undo all selections. How can one do this? I admit to not have researched this properly: I haven't checked mailing lists for previous discussions, and haven't checked the BTS, so I apologize if this has already been discussed.

So if you exit, there is no help. Personally, I think console apt should have some way of showing new packages. if a package is marked 'new' and you have the sort order set to show new items first, it would emulate dselect fairly well.

There is no other good way for an outside program to ask dpkg about the state of the system. I realise this is the problem. Which is why one might rather look at updating dpkg, rather than update-menus... (Oh, my machine is a very up-to-date woody, well, as up to date as the local mirror, which seems to update a couple of times a week, but not necessarily every day.) a) # dpkg --get-selections|sed -e 's/deinstall$/install/'|dpkg --set-selections # apt-get dselect-upgrade Ah yes... sed. The problem with this is, it will also install the packages that are not installed (that are really currently deinstalled). Maybe one should use sed on /var/lib/dpkg/status...? Replacing lines containing Status: install ok deinstall or something like that with Status: install ok install... It does sort of feel wrong to go this low level though. b) run the dselect update as root, but actually browse as a user A little extra trouble, but probably the best solution thus far. Infact, I just got the idea, and tested it, to simply do: # dselect update ; su hugo -c dselect select I could just make this a listnewpackages script or alias... c) dselect has a 'revert' key binding, but it only works for that run of dselect. So if you exit, there is no help. Yup... a global revert would be usefull. Personally, I think console apt should have some way of showing new packages. if a package is marked 'new' and you have the sort order set to show new items first, it would emulate dselect fairly well. If possible, this way should be avoidable if it makes console-apt any slower, I think. But personally, on my machine, I would also love to see this. Thanks, Hugo van der Merwe

Yes, a bug has already been filed. But I'm very glad you didn't notice it (it's not yet on't www.master.org, while it is on master.debian.org), as your bugreport is a *lot* more informative than the one in the BTS! Just one nit: both you and the other bug mailer think about mention what version of menu you are using, or any other packages menu depends on. Could you send me a list of that? (installed versions of menu, libc6, libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1). Thanks. After a fairly painless upgrade to potato on one system here, I've been doing the occasional update/upgrade cycle with either dselect or apt-get and things usually go well. (After I got all the Perl stuff straightened out... but that's why it's called unstable!) Tonight, I seem to be having a recurring problem with Update-menus hanging and stopping everything right after packages are unpacked by dselect/apt. Last weekend I've released a new version of menu, that may well have caused this. (Will be sure once you mention what version you are now using). Anyway, it *is* unstable, isn't it? The output is... Upacking replacement foo ... Update-menus[PID]: further output (if any) will appear in /tmp/update-menus.PID ... where PID is the PID of a copy of update-menus... of course. At this point, the whole process hangs and doesn't continue. Ctrl-C will interrupt, which will kill both update-menus and the script running which sends the signal to apt that all did not go well with the package. Sometimes, running a new dselect/apt session it will get farther along, but then it hangs again later on another package it seems. OK, thanks. So it isn't reproducable. But the fact that it then hangs later on is actually strange. That shouldn't happen. Could you, in the /etc/menu-methods/menu.config file, change the `verbosity=quiet' line to `verbosity=verbose', and then try to get again that situation where update-menus goes through the first time, but not the second (third, whatever)? I'd be interested to see the output of update-menus in that case (both the first one that does fall through, and the one that `hangs') Some other output from a `ps aux | grep update` shows that there are two update-menus running, and I don't know if this is possibly the issue, or if it's normal for update-menus to have children. One is the PID listed in the output of apt, the other is one PID LOWER. What happens if you do # kill -SIGUSR1 `expr PID - 1` in a seperate window, while update-menus is `hanging'? Actually that test is rather irrelevant, cause it will almost certainly cause the process to go on smoothly. But anyway, it is a way to `fix' the problem temporarily. Also, I'd like to see what a second update-menus call does the above case. So, please install two packages with update-menus calls in their postinst, wait for update-menus to hang, type kill -SIGUSR1 `expr PID - 1`, and see what the second postinsts with update-menus in it does. It *should* report nothing at all. Oh, and one more thing: I use apt/dselect, I only use dpkg directly (well during the latst year). Could you check if just typing somthing like # dpkg -i ncftp2_2.4.3-2.deb xwhois_0.3.5-1.deb (or whatever packages you are installing) also has the problem? I've attempted to exit out of the package selection tools and run update-menus by hand as root, and that seems to work fine. No errors output to STDERR or STDOUT, anyway. If you want some more output, you could try update-menus -v and you should see something of a confirmation that everything went OK. And yes, I did the change suggested by Joop in moving his config file for the older afterstep stuff from the example he gives to the live copy... but I'm using WindowMaker anyway, and Afterstep is rarely used, if at all on this machine. Everything you said suggests that update-menus hasn't started looking at even the menu-entry-files, never mind the menu-methods. So, although any type of experimenting cannot be harmful, I think this is not the most likly place to find clues to the bug. Anyone have any other ideas on how to catch what's
Update-menus hanging during dselect / apt-get
After a fairly painless upgrade to potato on one system here, I've been doing the occasional update/upgrade cycle with either dselect or apt-get and things usually go well. (After I got all the Perl stuff straightened out... but that's why it's called unstable!) Tonight, I seem to be having a recurring problem with Update-menus hanging and stopping everything right after packages are unpacked by dselect/apt. The output is... Upacking replacement foo ... Update-menus[PID]: further output (if any) will appear in /tmp/update-menus.PID ... where PID is the PID of a copy of update-menus... of course. At this point, the whole process hangs and doesn't continue. Ctrl-C will interrupt, which will kill both update-menus and the script running which sends the signal to apt that all did not go well with the package. Sometimes, running a new dselect/apt session it will get farther along, but then it hangs again later on another package it seems. Some other output from a `ps aux | grep update` shows that there are two update-menus running, and I don't know if this is possibly the issue, or if it's normal for update-menus to have children. One is the PID listed in the output of apt, the other is one PID LOWER. df -k shows that /tmp is at 0% full, so that rules out the obvious problem. Actually none of the filesystems are anywhere near full. I've attempted to exit out of the package selection tools and run update-menus by hand as root, and that seems to work fine. No errors output to STDERR or STDOUT, anyway. And yes, I did the change suggested by Joop in moving his config file for the older afterstep stuff from the example he gives to the live copy... but I'm using WindowMaker anyway, and Afterstep is rarely used, if at all on this machine. Anyone have any other ideas on how to catch what's happening to it, or is this a known issue being discussed elsewhere, and I don't see it because I only am subscribed to Debian-User? I'm copying the package maintainer on this since I didn't see anything in the bugs database... perhaps I've stumbled on one? -- +---++ | Nate Duehr - [EMAIL PROTECTED]| Support Amateur Radio Linux! | | Private Pilot, Telephony Engineer | Ham Callsign: N0NTZ | | UNIX Hack, Perl Hack, Tech-Freak | Grid Square: DM79 | | http://www.natetech.com | May the Source be with you. | +---++ | HamRadio and Linux mailing lists available for interested parties: | |http://www.natetech.com/mailman/listinfo| ++

update-menus not working? A bug?
I am using Potato and regularly update my system with apt-get. I currently have version 2.1.0-2 of menu and version 0.60.0-4 of Window Maker. Basically my Window Maker menu is not updating as it should, even when I install a new Debian package. If I run update-menus as a user I get a segmentaion fault, and as root it does nothing. Manual changes to /etc/menu have no effect. It used to work fine. Is there a bug? I do apologise if the topic has already been mentioned in the group. -- Phillip Deackes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Linux (Potato)

Re: update-menus not working? A bug?
I've been noticing the very same thing. I tried deleting a few files, and forcing them to be recreated, and that only partially worked. It seems to be completely ignoring what entries are located in any and all of the locations it searches ... /etc/menu, /usr/lib/menu, ~/.menu, and so on.

update-menus
Hello. I have tried to use update-menus for local applications (not from debian package). In man menufile, they say : Each menuentry specifies what pack age it depends on, if that package is not installed, the menuentry will be ignored by update-menus(1). (In a menu entry you can specify pseudo-packages that start with local, update-menus will always use those menuentries). So I have tried it, in /etc/menu (I think it's the good place for it) and also in /usr/lib/menu But, it doesn't work... this is my localmenu : ?package(localnetscape):needs=x11 command=/usr/local/bin/netscape section=Apps /Net title=Netscape Yes, I know : there is a netscape package, but this is not the problem. Thanks for your help ! Fabien SALVI Centre de Ressources Informatiques Centre Universitaire et de Recherche 74166 Archamps http://www.cri.cur-archamps.fr
