| doctari | I-Punkt, I am having the same problem. I have been trying for days to solve. | 17:13 |
| doctari | you have to sudo apt-get install python-gconf | 17:14 |
| doctari | to get menu-editor to start | 17:14 |
| doctari | question I-Punkt what do you have to do after you assign the group in profile manager? | 17:15 |
| I-Punkt | i import the edited menu-profile and pull it over the group. then i save it. thats all i have done | 17:17 |
| doctari | and it just works when the user logs in, I-Punkt? | 17:18 |
| doctari | I-Punkt, do you have any notes on file location or anything special you had to do to get it to work? | 17:19 |
| I-Punkt | it does not work. no errors. all looks good, but if thinclients connect, the user got the big menu | 17:19 |
| doctari | gconf is missing in python | 17:20 |
| doctari | you have to install python-gconf | 17:20 |
| I-Punkt | i try python-gconf | 17:20 |
| I-Punkt | this is what i have done sudo apt-get install python-gmenu kommander gksu | 17:21 |
| I-Punkt | sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kommander /usr/bin/kmdr-executor | 17:21 |
| I-Punkt | sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libkommanderwidgets.so.4 /usr/lib/libkommanderwidgets.so | 17:21 |
| I-Punkt | sudo chmod +x /usr/share/desktop-profiles/kommander-scripts/profile-manager.kmdr | 17:21 |
| doctari | what did that do for you? | 17:22 |
| I-Punkt | nothing, i think. this is what i found in the net | 17:22 |
| I-Punkt | sorry, my english... | 17:22 |
| doctari | did you do any of that for 12.04? | 17:23 |
| I-Punkt | apt say python-gconf is up to date | 17:23 |
| I-Punkt | no, in 12.04 all works. but it is long ago | 17:23 |
| doctari | try menueditor from the terminal. you can see any errors on start | 17:23 |
| I-Punkt | now i try 14.04 and nothing works in menu | 17:23 |
| doctari | open menu and save a blank archive first | 17:24 |
| I-Punkt | menueditor starts with no errors | 17:24 |
| doctari | open menu-editor and save a blank archive first | 17:24 |
| I-Punkt | what you mean blank? all entries off and than save? | 17:25 |
| doctari | when I was opening menu-editor there was nothing there | 17:25 |
| I-Punkt | waht filetype i have to save? testmenu.tar.gz? | 17:26 |
| doctari | so I tried saving an empty archive and after I closed and open menu-editor again all of the applications were there | 17:26 |
| doctari | yes | 17:26 |
| I-Punkt | the terminal does not show errors. finaly i saved a testmenu.tar.gz and finished. no errors. | 17:28 |
| I-Punkt | i think i found a error. i extract the testmenu.tar.gz. inside i found 2 folders but nothing inside. | 17:30 |
| I-Punkt | folder 1 share the second called xdg | 17:31 |
| I-Punkt | no file and no hidden files in the sufolders. | 17:32 |
| I-Punkt | that is the reason. the menueditor save the menu.tar.gz but there is no configfile inside. whats now? | 17:34 |
| doctari | try closinf menu-editor and then open it again | 17:34 |
| doctari | try closing | 17:35 |
| I-Punkt | in the last few minutes i have try it 3 times with differnent archive-names and extract it. everytime the same. subfolders without configfiles. | 17:36 |
| I-Punkt | hmmm | 17:36 |
| doctari | so when you opened menu-editor could you see the applications | 17:36 |
| I-Punkt | yes. all apps are there and i can check boxes. i uncheck many of them, hit save -> test.tar.gz. no errors posted in terminal. archive is ok, but without configfiles | 17:38 |
| doctari | the first archive I made I put into /etc/menueditor I think | 17:38 |
| doctari | hold on | 17:39 |
| doctari | I-Punkt, yeah your right mine doesn't have conf files either | 17:42 |
| doctari | hold on more files were created let me find them | 17:42 |
| I-Punkt | in /etc/edubuntu-menueditor i find a folder called testmenu. the profile-manager seems to work, but without configfiles in the menu-tar there will be no changes for the clients. | 17:43 |
| doctari | look in /etc/desktop-profiles there should be some .listing files there | 17:45 |
| I-Punkt | yes. the second called testuser-testmenu.listing. but the menu-tar is buggy and thatswhy this configfile has only a few lines | 17:47 |
| I-Punkt | nothing that looks like my changes. | 17:47 |
| I-Punkt | connection fail? | 17:49 |
| doctari_ | I-Punkt, sorry power went out here | 17:49 |
| I-Punkt | 18:47:15 - I-Punkt: yes. the second called testuser-testmenu.listing. but the menu-tar is buggy and thatswhy this configfile has only a few lines | 17:49 |
| I-Punkt | 18:47:44 - I-Punkt: nothing that looks like my changes. | 17:49 |
| doctari_ | you are correct my archive file is blank also. directories but no conf files | 17:50 |
| I-Punkt | how can i get a example *.listing? if i see how it looks like maybe i can create my own menu.listing. i think there is a bug in menueditor | 17:51 |
| I-Punkt | whats now? | 17:51 |
| I-Punkt | without configfiles the profilemanager dont make changes in clientmenu | 17:52 |
| doctari_ | that same folder has the default .listing | 17:52 |
| I-Punkt | inside these file is nothing tha looks like menu-apps | 17:54 |
| I-Punkt | what can i do now? what you think. i would try to install a 12.04-VM and create a menu.tar.gz. if this works i can import this in 14.04. | 17:56 |
| doctari_ | there is an application you can install that will track all file changes I am rtying to remember the name of it | 17:57 |
| doctari_ | tripwire, I-Punkt you could intall the 12.04 system and tripwire and then you could see every file that changes as you make your new profile | 18:01 |
| doctari_ | then maybe we could figure out what is missing in 14.04, maybe even fix it | 18:02 |
| I-Punkt | sounds good | 18:02 |
| I-Punkt | i witch country u live? | 18:03 |
