no menus

#5 Post by iscraigh »

I installed the sfs on puppy 301, it runs but I get no menu items.
Tried fix menus but no go. I notice as it starts it seems that JWM starts first.

Any suggestions?

After you go into Puppy, press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to get out of jvm and on to the command line. Then type

"xwin enlightenment_start" without the quotes, as mentioned in the post above you.

I hope it works, I haven't tried it yet.

sdl-1.2.11.pet complained about missing lib -> libvga.so.1,
I got svgalib-1.9.25-i486-1.tgz (slack-12), changed to pet "tgz2pet" installed it, & created the missing sym-links.
downloaded enlightenment.sfs.. tried to run with "xwin enlightenment_start"
a quick start showing "jwm" and back to prompt, further runs just give me the prompt.

I'm not shure if E17 supports the freedesktop .desktop files used in Puppy.
You could try lxpanel or fbpanel.

That is a task/toolbar with a Puppymenu.
See in the additional software forum, made by plinej.

Hi All!

I found a partial solution of the Applications menu problem here:
http://e17blog.tuxfamily.org/e17blog_en ... menu-files


I simply copied the sample menu file into a new file and saved as applications.menu to /root/.config/menus and now I have some applications displayed.
I'm using puppy 3.00 and found that puppy application menu files are separated to different categories in /etc/xdg/menus and couldn't find a global menu file that could be symlinked to /root/.config/menus. So we should build one :D

Best,
Matu

in that case the Puppymenu for Gnome/Kde should work in E17:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25925

You will need only this file, it includes a new applications.menu with Puppys categories and some additional ones like "learning":

Thank you MU. Now it works. I had to make a new symlink to applications.menu-GNOMEPUPPY, because what you provided pointed to applications.menu-puppy. Now everything is OK.

sorry, was wrongly packaged.
I updated it now.
You should update, or you miss the categories like learning and development.

you also might search, where enlightenment looks for the icons.

For KDE I added such lines to the startscript:

Code: Select all

cp /usr/share/mini-icons/*.xpm /usr/share/icons/default.kde/16x16/apps/ &
cp /usr/share/icons/*.xpm /usr/share/icons/default.kde/16x16/apps/ &

cp /usr/share/midi-icons/*.xpm /usr/share/icons/default.kde/22x22/apps/ &
cp /usr/share/midi-icons/*.png /usr/share/icons/default.kde/22x22/apps/ &
These commands run in the background (using the "&" in the end), so they don't slow down startup.

It just copies Puppys icons to the folders where KDE looks for them.

icons in application menu

#17 Post by Matu »

Hi MU,

as far as I can see, E17 search for icons in /usr/share/icons. I did only a rough test, symlinked the content of both /usr/share/mini-icons and /usr/share/midi-icons to /usr/share/icons.

The result:

Okay

Following the directions here I now have a menu (thanks MU) and Icons. What In would like to do is change the icons. I right click work my way through to choosing a new icon, do so, and it does not change. I tried downloading some E17 icons and choosing them; still no go.

Any suggestions, I am getting close to this being a usable window manager/Desktop

Is there any lighter version of this sfs? It's too big. Anyone have the iTask NG module?
