GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

[kansasnoob]

I'm dropping Trusty from the title of this thread since we know that flashback will continue to be supported.

I created two merge proposals...

1) gnome-panel - https://code.launchpad.net/~albertsm.../+merge/215275. With this one alacarte will use correct menu file in gnome-flashback-session. You can manually apply this fix:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/gnome-panel.desktop

Replace this line

Exec=gnome-panel

with this

Exec=env XDG_MENU_PREFIX="gnome-flashback-" gnome-panel

2) alacarte - https://code.launchpad.net/~albertsm.../+merge/215284. This will fix new menu and/or item creation. If you are using x64 I can upload deb package with this fix.

Hi Alberts, I test both i386 and amd64 so a .deb would be great.

Part #1 works nicely

Will test part #2 when you get it built.

Many thanks.

alacarte_3.10.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb.zip

Seems this .deb is for both i386 and amd64 systems.

That works fine. I tested it pretty thoroughly - restoring defaults, creating a Sundry Menu item & then creating a new gnome-terminal Item within it. The only thing I was not sure of was where to place an icon for a new menu item but I'm sure some googling would tell me.

[muktupavels]

Alacarte fix should be available now with apt-get.

To set icon you need click on icon (when creating new item and/or editing existing one) and than choose icon file.

I see that:

alacarte (3.10.0-1ubuntu2) trusty; urgency=medium

* Backport upstream patches to:
- fix creating new items.
- fix creating new menus.
- make the restore button work.

What package updates apply to part #1?

gnome-panel

Is that from an Ubuntu GNOME installation, or Ubuntu?

Plain Ubuntu with Flashback
