 Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:50 pm Post subject: Applications menu |
 |
|
Hi
I installed gnome 2.26 (emerge gnome) and it works fine but the "Applications" menu is totally empty. I don't see Office, Games, Internet, etc.
alacarte doesn't seem to run correctly. I get this message when I run alacarte in terminal :
| Code: |
$ alacarte
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in __init__
self.editor = MenuEditor()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__
self.__loadMenus()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 42, in __loadMenus
self.applications.path = os.path.join(util.getUserMenuPath(), self.applications.tree.get_menu_file())
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 65, in join
if b.startswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Any ideas ??
Thanks |

Maybe you just need to run python-updater or revdep-rebuild- not sure. That's the first thing I would try in these cases.  |

As for your menu problem, try emerging gnome menus like this (remember to logout (reboot is better!!) after each try!):
USE=python emerge -av gnome-menus
Or if that does not work:
USE=-python emerge -av gnome-menus |

I have had the same problem.
Check whether the link /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu is existent and points on gnome-applications.menu in the same directory. |

I had the same problem and einbisschen's answer fixed mine.
Just make sure applications.menu is linked to gnome-applications.menu and then re-start X |

| Code: | | ln -s gnome-applications.menu applications.menu |
worked for me.
I still can't emerge alacarte or edit my menus, but at least I have my applications menu.

My friend mrpouet from the Gentoo Gnome team knows that problem now.
So, we have to wait and see

With the advent of "XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-" there have been problems.
in ~/.config/menus there needs to be a
gnome-applications.menu
and a gnome-applications-merged directory.
inside gnome-applications.menu it points to "/etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu"
which also needs to exist.
---
One can link ~/.config/menus/applications.menu to ~/.config/menus/gnome-applications.menu
but the old applications menu points to "/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu" instead of the one above.
---
So things need to be made consistent to have menus and appications be proper (the old way)

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291279
The strange thing is gnome-menus-2.26 already handles and uses XDG_MENU_PREFIX env var (check the code),
this var is designed to be able to change dynamically the name/place of applications.menu (mainly to avoid conflicts with other .menu files, like kde, xfce and so on)
So the fix is not to make a symlink or to patch the code in order to include "gnome-applications.menu" statically, because as I said the purpose of XDM_MENU_PREFIX is to handle this feature dynamically.
Then gnome-panel and alacarte should use gnome-menu (contains a lib)... so I'm pretty sure this is a bug in this lib... |

For gnome-panel, it does not : the following code is taken from gnome-panel-2.26.3 (gnome-panel/panel-menu-button.c)
| Code: |
static MenuPathRootItem root_items [] = {
{ APPLICATIONS_MENU, "applications", "applications.menu" },
{ SETTINGS_MENU, "settings", "settings.menu" }
};
static const char *
panel_menu_filename_to_scheme (const char *filename)
{
const char *retval;
int i;
retval = NULL;
if (!filename)
return retval;
for (i = 0; i < G_N_ELEMENTS (root_items); i++) {
if (root_items [i].filename &&
!strncmp (filename, root_items [i].filename,
strlen (root_items [i].filename))) {
retval = root_items [i].scheme;
break;
}
}
return retval;
}
gboolean
panel_menu_button_create (PanelToplevel *toplevel,
int position,
const char *filename,
const char *menu_path,
gboolean use_menu_path,
const char *tooltip)
{
[...]
scheme = panel_menu_filename_to_scheme (filename);
if (filename && !scheme) {
g_warning ("Failed to find menu scheme for %s\n", filename);
g_free (id);
return FALSE;
}
[...]
}
|
| Quote: |
** (gnome-panel:10887): WARNING **: Failed to find menu scheme for gnome-applications.menu
|
I'm not an expert in C, but I don't see how the strncmp function can found a match between gnome-applications.menu and applications.menu strings.
So :
- the panel_menu_filename_to_scheme function returns NULL
- the panel_menu_button_create function displays the warning and returns FALSE.
There's no reference to gnome-menu nor XDG_MENU_PREFIX env variable.
I don't see how this part of code can work when the file is not named applications.menu (without patching the code). |

I don't have a menus entry (file or directory) in ~/.config. The symlink fixed it for me.
