http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525876 Summary: Yast does not appear in the menu when using XFCE Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: c-ax@hotmail.co.uk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.0) Gecko/20090623 SUSE/3.5.0-4.6 Firefox/3.5 Nothing much to add - the title says it all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. The file /usr/share/applications/YaST.desktop is set up so that yast only appears in KDE and Gnome. Changing the line OnlyShowIn=KDE;GNOME; to OnlyShowIn=KDE;GNOME;XFCE; manually sorts the problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think that the solution to this bug is to remove the "Only Show In" line from this file altogether. I cannot see why it would be a good thing to exclude Yast from any desktop menu. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From ControlC. changelog:

Fri Aug 24 14:10:08 CEST 2007 - sh@suse.de - Don't show menu entry in desktops other than KDE or GNOME (won't run properly anyway without root permission which is a non-standard extension of the desktop file format) that is why OnlyShowIn line has been added into YaST desktop file. Iow, there is no such thing as kdesu or gnomesu in Xfce (not that I know of), so even if YaST's .desktop was modified to appear in Xfce menu, it would run as non-root user and show only modules that do not require root privileges. If it is desirable to show YaST menu entry in Xfce despite this limitation, of course I can add Xfce into the list of supported DE's, or remove OnlyShowIn line altogether (but I'd be pretty reluctant to do that) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It works independently of DE (in Xfce it opens a small xterm window with password prompt), so OnlyShowIn key can be safely removed too -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
