I had a microwave mess with bluetooth, but it was hard to reproduce. I got a new microwave. That's unrelated, but probably for the best. :) ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Hi Hendrik, My experience with LXDE and Openbox is that the system menu is pretty much given to you on LXDE/Openbox install. My experience based on LXDE and Openbox on Ubuntu, Debian and Void is that installing a package doesn't put the package's executable in the LXDE or Openbox system menu. This is why I use dmenu as my main menu. Dmenu is faster and requires no mouse. SteveT ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[DNG] connman missing from system menu
connman is missing from the system menu of my 32-bit laptop running chimaera. I have installed: connman-gtkverion 1.1.1+git20180626.b72c6ab-2 connmanversion 1.36-2.2 connman-uiversion 0-20150623-1 The menu item is absent from the system menus in lxqt, and in xfce. What am I missing? History: I upgraded from beowulf *without* first replacing wicd. So I initially had no cnonectivity after the upgrade. I instaled the connman packages by downlading them on another machine, transferring them cia USB stick, and installing on the laptop by using dpkg. (Another computer, where I installed connman before I upgraded to chimara, works fine, even though it has only the package connman installed, without connman-ui or connman-gtk or any of the other connman-related package. It has the "Connman UI Setup" menu item in teh "Internet" submenu when running LXQt. What am I missing? Why isn't there a menu item for connman in the system menu tree for either xfce or lxqt? Shouldn't connman contain the menu item? -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
