I package it for myself in my OBS repository [1] for Devuan Ceres. It requires a step in the ~/.fluxbox/startup to run and update the menu for the user, because it will also interpret the ~/.local/share/applications as part of that XDG specification (which, is the same group of people as systemd, so take this with few grains of salt!).

Hi Hendrik, My experience with LXDE and Openbox is that the system menu is pretty much given to you on LXDE/Openbox install. My experience based on LXDE and Openbox on Ubuntu, Debian and Void is that installing a package doesn't put the package's executable in the LXDE or Openbox system menu. This is why I use dmenu as my main menu. Dmenu is faster and requires no mouse. SteveT ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[DNG] connman missing from system menu
connman is missing from the system menu of my 32-bit laptop running chimaera. I have installed: connman-gtkverion 1.1.1+git20180626.b72c6ab-2 connmanversion 1.36-2.2 connman-uiversion 0-20150623-1 The menu item is absent from the system menus in lxqt, and in xfce. What am I missing? History: I upgraded from beowulf *without* first replacing wicd. So I initially had no cnonectivity after the upgrade. I instaled the connman packages by downlading them on another machine, transferring them cia USB stick, and installing on the laptop by using dpkg. (Another computer, where I installed connman before I upgraded to chimara, works fine, even though it has only the package connman installed, without connman-ui or connman-gtk or any of the other connman-related package. It has the "Connman UI Setup" menu item in teh "Internet" submenu when running LXQt. What am I missing? Why isn't there a menu item for connman in the system menu tree for either xfce or lxqt? Shouldn't connman contain the menu item? -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
