I agree, I just installed LinuxCNC 2.8 on a fresh install of Debian 10 with the Mate desktop and all the menu items are in Other. I installed mozo so I could edit the menus in Mate and the CNC menu is not even there this time. JT On 9/23/20 2:48 AM, andy pugh wrote: On Wed, 23 Sep 2020 at 01

A lot of users prefer to use tommy's instructions to install Linuxcnc on Mint, over using the Mint ISO with Linuxcnc. So maybe the devs don't think it's a worthwhile endeavor. As long as there is some interest I'll continue hosting the ISOs and the 2.8 repo for Bionic ie Mint 19.x Regrading Min

Yep I'm thinking that. With XFCE & Whisker menu I get the same behaviour but there is a setting that will expand the sub menus and behaves like it should. There seems to be something screwy with the menus with mate on mint. Is it worth pursuing with Mint or just leave it be ? On 23/9/20 5:48 p

Sorry should have checked. Using the Mint menu editor the submenus are shown with the appropriate desktop entries. On 23/9/20 10:14 am, Robert Murphy wrote: Thanks for the reply Andy. So far that is not the behaviour I'm seeing with MATE on Mint. I've yet to update the boxes I have using XFCE.

Thanks for the reply Andy. So far that is not the behaviour I'm seeing with MATE on Mint. I've yet to update the boxes I have using XFCE. I had a quick look at the cnc.menu and, to my my untrained eye, it looked like you had tidied up the menu. On 23/9/20 9:56 am, andy pugh wrote: On Wed, 23 S

Andy, Is there supposed to be submenus under the CNC menu for Documentation & G-Code Quick-Reference ? Or are the Docs & G-Code Ref links supposed to be directly under the CNC Menu ? I built packages last night for Mint (1:2.8.0.39.g76260b4f7) and all the desktop links are under the CNC Menu.
