Hello,
I recently switched from KDE to Gnome and I'd like whether there exists under Archlinux a package that organizes the games in sub-menu's. I found such a package in Fedora, Debian and Edubuntu a it is quite useful.

what do you mean in "organizes the games in sub-menu's"?
you can "play" changing menu in: system->preferences->main menu.

Do you have any installed? It should be there by default.
pacman -S gnome-games gnome-games-extra-data
I tried it but it does not work. Maybe because gnome-games-extra-data is from the 2.30 release and gnome-games from the 2.32 one?

The menus in gnome are based on the menu information each game's package contains in its .desktop file (try pacman -Ql game_name | grep desktop). There's no specific package to replace all those in Arch. Best to do it manually. Or just use gnome-do or some other launcher.

Pretty sure you can edit /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and files in /usr/share/desktop-directories to get this. Not sure how though...

Are you saying you don't have a "Games" sub-menu in your "Applications" menu?

I think he wants to categorize them in sub-menus. Just right click on Applications, choose Edit Menus, and arrange them however you want.

I do not get any error. The installation was OK but there weren't any sub-menus.

Thanks for correctly answering in my place.
I know I could arrange the menus up to my wishes but I am a bit lazy and so prefer this to be done by a package as in other distributions

If that doesn't work, you could extract the files I mentioned from http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i38 … s/download
