[opensuse] How to edit entries in the "Run Command" menu.
Using 12.1 version of OpenSUSE. Right mouse button allows selecting the "Run Command" (ALT-F2 also selects this command). Can someone tell me where the command entries are stored? I have several entries which need to be deleted.

If I think that what you are asking is what I think you are asking :-) , then go Gecko>Edit Applications and find the apps which you want to amend and use Edit on the entry.

That would be Krunner and I haven't found a way to configure it. I have been looking for a way because of a problem I mentioned here about running man pages with it. In KDE 3, there was a way to configure this, but I haven't found similar in KDE 4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

DARN! My oversight! :-( You need to RIGHT-click on Gecko to see the Edit Applications entry - which will bring up a menu of all the apps you have installed, and you can then edit the commands.

Sorry, but what am I missing here? Why do you keep bringing up Krunner for? The OP needs to edit/delete some commands and asked where they are stored. If there is an app which is installed then it would appear in the Menu. But to find were krunner is it's a matter of going into YaST Software Manager and do a search for 'krunner' and the File List will show that krunner is in /usr/bin - not that this will do any good 'cause krunner is an executable.

Unless I'm mistaken, Krunner is what runs, when you press Alt-F2. A box opens up, where you enter the command or URL you wish to execute. For example, until it broke, I'd press Alt-F2 and enter #<command> to open the man page for the command. In KDE 3, it was possible to configure this to chose what you wanted to happen with various commands. I can no longer find any way to do that. In my case, I want to find out why I am now opening Seamonkey, instead of Konqueror when I'm trying to read a man page. This function is broken and I have no idea how to fix it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You are not mistaken.
A box opens up, where you enter the command or URL you wish to execute. For example, until it broke, I'd press Alt-F2 and enter #<command> to open the man page for the command.
And when I try that I get Konqueror starting up with "man:/sh" in the location bar and the KDE man page viewer. This is a vanilla 12.2 install, the BtrFS test platform I've spoken of before. I get the same on another machine running 12.2 on Reiser and one on ext4. All virgin installs.

Perhaps because somewhere seamonkey is defined as a the default browser and not Konqueror? What does it say in the relevant systemsetting? Mind you, what I have looks nothing like http://maketecheasier.com/10-awesome-features-of-krunner-in-kde-4/2009/06/29 though some of those things work. Not all. IIWY I'd take a look at the source and see how it finds what browser to use. -- "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." - Eleanor Roosevelt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have no idea why Seamonkey is starting. The default browser is Firefox. If I enter a URL, Firefox starts as expected. If I enter konqueor man:/<command> it works properly and displays the man page. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I just tried in an existing account, where I have never used a desktop before. It appears to work there, so I guess something got changed under .kde, but I have no idea what. It's not in krunnerrc.

No, because I don't normally use that mechanism. So they won't be there. Terry only asked where it was so he could delete them. I edited the file and they weren't in the pull-down any more.

That method can do a lot of things. I've often used it to call up man pages. There used to be a way to change what happens, but I can no longer find that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No. I answered Terry's question about editing his list of past commands.
