Folks: For some reason when my 10.2 box comes up the start menu does not appear. I have the bar across the bottom with a few icons on it but the start icon is gone. This happened after an app hanged and I did a <cntrl><alt><backspace> to restart X My guess is that their something is screwed up in gnome - any guess where to start?

Well I am running e17 with an entrance login and for something theoretically pre-release it is very usable and usually stable, (in fact on this portable I have not gone into KDE for one hell of a long time). I originally installed purely as an experiment, but it has now become my primary desktop. KDE does not like the sound for this machine and almost anything which goes near the rather dodgy sound support collapses under KDE. DR17 and the SuSE release of e16 are fine (as is nearly all the other Window Managers). For this failing I am grateful to KDE for introducing me to enlightenment :-) However, the way SuSE distributes enlightenment pretty much ensures that you cannot have e16 and e17 safely co-existing on the same machine. (In the end I was forced to compile the latest e16 from scratch and create a separate rpm reference to it, this does still require some trouble shooting :-( as a couple e16 epplets bomb at start). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

No, its just the default gnome setup - Frankly you may call it the application menu, main menu, start or whatever - its the thing that all the apps like firefox, open office, k3b, & etc are found under - you know you click on it and it opens up then you click on Firefox - Its gone and its very annoying - M- On 6/23/07, jfweber@gilweber.com wrote:

Just went in and deleted all the .gnome* files and all the .gconf files in my home dir and the Main Menu still doesn't come back. So, obviously something is hosed elsewhere in the system.

These lighthearted jibes at Gnome are nothing more than mild humor (or, at least, attempts at humor). They're akin to a Chevy owner making fun of a Volvo driver, or some such silliness. No one is prevented from helping out. If anything, I would expect it to spur some people to come to the aid of a fellow user of Gnome, not deter them. It's not like we're standing in a circle around the Gnome users, pointing and laughing at them as if they're the village idiots. No serious derision is in evidence.

Wouldn't it be more helpful to leave postings about gnome alone instead of being a jerk and mocking other peoples problems?

In my opinion, you're far too thin-skinned for this world. And I don't mean this list. I mean Earth in the year 2007.

Ok, As long as there's a panel left on the bottom of the screen, here's how to restore the start menu: 1. Right click on the panel > Add to Panel 2. A window will pop up, scroll down a bit 3. If you want to restore the Novell Gnome start menu, choose: "Main Menu" 4. If you want the original Gnome start menu, choose: "Menu Bar" 5. Adjust the position on the panel, etc. 6. Logout to let Suse save your desktop settings including the start menu. 7. Logon again.

Thanks! Tried that and when you right clicked no options were given - It really seems that some parts of user info (settings & etc - ) of the gnome system are stored outside the user's home directory and there is no way to easily clear it out and start fresh. Through multiple logins - logouts, reboots and etc I've been able to get back to where I was but there has to be an easier way to set things back to a base state after gnome looses its brains, Be well, Michael On 6/27/07, JP Rosevear wrote:

Do 'gdb /opt/gnome/lib/gnome-main-menu/main-menu' and hit 'r<ENTER>' to run the main menu.

Right click on a blank spot on the panel, Add to panel... and see if it crashes.

Thanks!

Tried that and when you right clicked no options were given -

When you say "no options were given" do you mean the option I asked you to select was not given in the context menu or no context menu at all? If none at all, can you interact with the panel at all (popping up the lock, clicking on the window list, etc)?

...

It really seems that some parts of user info (settings & etc - ) of the gnome system are stored outside the user's home directory and there is no way to easily clear it out and start fresh.

No user settings are stored outside of the home dir. -JP -- JP Rosevear Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
