https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728482 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728482#c0 Summary: alacarte is unable to add new items Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xfce AssignedTo: bnc-team-xfce@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: houghi@houghi.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 When only XFCE is installed alacarte is unable to add items or menu's. When GNOME is added there is no problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Only install XFCE 2. Start alacarte. This can be done either from a terminal or right click on the 'start'button and then to "Edit Menu" 3. Click on "New Item" or "New Menu" Actual Results: Nothing is seen when it is run in pure GUI. e.g. when ran from the start button. When ran from a terminal the following error is shown: houghi@121-64:~> alacarte Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 297, in on_new_menu_button_clicked process = subprocess.Popen(['gnome-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1228, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Expected Results: There should be a popup that makes it possible to add or edit the menu. It seems that it is missing a file that will be installed when GNOME is installed. Unfortunately I am unable to determine which one as my python skills are non-existing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Xfce provides a drop-in replacement for gnome-desktop-item-edit called exo-desktop-item-edit which could be used when gnome-desktop-item-edit is not found. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728482 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728482#c2 --- Comment #2 from Guido Berhörster <gber@opensuse.org> 2011-11-05 11:33:26 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=460605) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=460605) support exo-desktop-item-edit as an alternative Suggested fix which searches PATH for gnome-desktop-item-edit and falls back to exo-desktop-item-edit. In addition alacarte should depend on a virtual package "desktop-item-edit" to be provided by both exo and gnome-panel. Packages containing these changes are available from home:gberh:branches:GNOME:Factory/alacarte, home:gberh:branches:GNOME:Factory/gnome-panel, and home:gberh:branches:X11:xfce/exo. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can use osc getbinaries to download the RPMs, e.g. osc getbinaries home:gberh:branches:X11:xfce exo openSUSE:Factory i586 and osc getbinaries home:gberh:branches:GNOME:Factory alacarte openSUSE:Factory i586. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This works well. I hope this will be added to upstream. Especially as now right-click and then Properties will show an Edit Menu button and more people might be interested now in XFCE for various reasons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
