[Bug 96706] Re: menu editor won't accept changes
I wouldn't say feature, I'd say unfortunate side-effect of the way the menu system works. -- menu editor won't accept changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for alacarte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 96706] Re: menu editor won't accept changes
OK I've learned it's not a bug but a feature! You cannot add a menu so you can turn on the items under the menu without first turning on at least one of the items under the menu. Or in my specific case to turn on the System Tools menu I must first turn on an item in that menu (i.e. Root Terminal). Then System Tools menu turns itself on. I expected to add the menu then turn on items in the menu. This fails big time. I don't like this feature but now I understand it. -- menu editor won't accept changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for alacarte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 96706] Re: menu editor won't accept changes
I'm getting this error in 7.10 Beta It is not consistent. I can add items like Applications -> Accessories -> File Browser and it works. The menu shows it. But I cannot add Applications -> System Tools. Not as root, as system admin, as terminal running "sudo alacarte". It seems to allow executable items to be added but not submenus. I tried to create a new submenu and it refuses that to. -- menu editor won't accept changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for alacarte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Enable the following options in System-> Administration * Gnome Partition Editor * Language Support * Login Window * Network * Restricted Drivers Manager * Services * Shared Folders * Software Sources * Synaptic Package Manager * Time and Date * Users and Groups The ~/.config/menus files seems to include the .desktop files, but something must block those files from appearing in the actual menu. ** Attachment added: "Logs of ~/.config/menus and ~/.local/share" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7778925/alacarte_bug25.tar -- menu editor won't accept changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for alacarte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 96706] Re: menu editor won't accept changes
Travis -
Re earlier comment, I wasn't enabling New Login in Nested Window - I was
trying to add Add/Remove programs which had disappeared. This turned
out to be because of bug #96694, the root cause of which was because I
was in the adm group but not the admin group. This was caused by the
fact that my initial install on this machine was version 4.10 (warty)
which relied on the adm group. Since then I have only done upgrades,
not new installs, so I was never part of the admin group (which was
added around Dapper-ish timeframe).
At any rate, I have added myself to admin, and now Alacarte works fine.
I wonder if the behaviour I was seeing was due to inadequate
permissions. If that's the case, then a warning message from Alacarte
("your user doesn't have permission") would probably be advisable.

Were you by any chance trying to enable "New Login in a Nested Window"? If so, this has a TryExec line so you have to have xnest installed for it to enable.
