[SOLVED] Can't get GTK global menu inside plasma-menu-bar widget

eDio · 2011-02-28 22:34:09

Hi, All.

I've tried to get global menu for all apps recently.
Qt apps works flawlessly, but gtk don't.

I have appmenu-gtk and gtk2-appmenu installed. I've added export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="libappmenu.so" line to my /etc/profile.
But widget displays nothing for gtk applications (for applications, that don't support global menu it displays "File" entry).

Are there any other magic lines I have to put somewhere?
Does order of packages installation matter?

Please, give me any hints on solving this. Thanks in advance.

Last version is broken, you have to use previous one...

eDio · 2011-03-01 09:27:13

I see 0.1.94 on launchpad, but in AUR is 0.1.93.

0.1.93 doesn't work for me. I've just installed the most latest from launchpad but I can't perform relogin right now.

It's not the issue, I can check if it works later. But if it is not hard for you, would you point, please, what is the last and what is the previous version?
Do I have to try 0.1.92?

Thanks.

I've tried appmenu-gtk of versions from 0.1.92 up to 0.1.94.

Behaviour is the same - absent menu for gtk applications.
Any other hints?

[root@archlinux gnumdk]# pacman -Q|grep appmenu
appmenu-gtk 0.1.93-2
appmenu-qt 0.1.2-1
gtk2-appmenu 2.22.1-1
qt-appmenu 4.7.1-2

gnumdk · 2011-03-01 13:14:13

Are you sure UBUNTU_MENUPROXY is exported to you xsession ?

Here i use this:

cat .kde4/env/qt.sh
export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=raster
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=libappmenu.so

eDio · 2011-03-01 14:04:25

[edio@booster ~]$ pacman -Q|grep appmenu
appmenu-gtk 0.1.93-2
appmenu-qt 0.1.2-1
gtk2-appmenu 2.22.1-1
qt-appmenu 4.7.1-2

[edio@booster ~]$ cat .kde4/env/qt.sh 
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=libappmenu.so

[edio@booster ~]$ cat /etc/profile | grep appmenu
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=libappmenu.so

And yep, qt.sh is executable.

Still the same behaviour.

Everything works ok, here. I have updated appmenu-gtk to 0.1.95 and qt-appmenu to 4.7.2 in the AUR.

I also updated locally libdbusmenu to 0.3.100 . Appmenu-qt 0.1.2 and gtk2-appmenu 2.22.1 as before.

eDio · 2011-03-05 13:37:21

I've done exactly what you said and now I have global menu for gtk apps. Thanks!

I have the same problem than Gillian00.

eDio · 2011-05-09 09:12:10

Sorry, guys, can't help you. I faced the same problem after migrating to x86_64 and decided not to bother myself with finding solution.
Perhaps gnumdk or zephyr can help.

I can remove [SOLVED] mark from header to draw smb's attention. Do you want me to do this?

Yep please :-)

But for me it's not that bad: the only problem left is this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/plasma-widge … bug/762865

So there is a kind of workaround : https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71053641 … _apps.diff

BUT I really don't know how to apply it !

thank you for your help :-)

Pajaro · 2011-05-09 11:14:52

For me that's not the case. I never get the menu to appear, even if i refocus the window...

In what regards the patch, you can send it to the package maintainer so that he applies it to the PKGBUILD.
