[Bug 1089438] Re: alacarte menu editor: new item, new menu bug
I have found the solution after a bit of digging around. For some reason, it is considering itself something other than XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP - hence trying to invoke gnome-desktop-item-edit. However, it is a command related to gnome-panel. So I changed the command to exo-desktop-item-edit like this: if os.getenv(XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) == XFCE: process = subprocess.Popen(['exo-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) else: process = subprocess.Popen(['exo-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) GObject.timeout_add(100, self.waitForNewMenuProcess, process, parent.get_menu_id(), file_path) This is to be done for both new menu and new item function. The file is at /usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py And everything started working in alacarte. I have also attached the changed MainWindow.py file as a patch with this post. Thank you. ** Attachment added: Patched MainWindow.py file for Alacarte. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1089438/+attachment/3460911/+files/MainWindow.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089438 Title: alacarte menu editor: new item, new menu bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1089438/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have attached the patched version of MainWindow.py file. You can directly use it to replace your existing MainWindow.py file. Of course, keep proper backup of your old file before replacing - in case things go wrong. ** Attachment added: Patched MainWindow.py file for Alacarte. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1089438/+attachment/3460913/+files/MainWindow.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089438 Title: alacarte menu editor: new item, new menu bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1089438/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Looks like editing property also does not work properly for similar reasons. The fix is similar.

[Bug 1089438] Re: alacarte menu editor: new item, new menu bug
I have improved the patch. Instead of being stuck between XFCE and Others - it now checks whether the desktop environment is LXDE as well. if os.getenv(XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) == XFCE: process = subprocess.Popen(['exo-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) elif os.getenv(XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) == LXDE: process = subprocess.Popen(['exo-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) else: process = subprocess.Popen(['gnome-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) GObject.timeout_add(100, self.waitForNewMenuProcess, process, parent.get_menu_id(), file_path) It has been applied to 1. New Item 2. New Menu Item 3. Edit Properties Same instructions, make a backup of /usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py and then replace it with the patch. ** Attachment added: Improved Patch of MainWindow.py https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1089438/+attachment/3461121/+files/MainWindow.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089438 Title: alacarte menu editor: new item, new menu bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1089438/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
