Hello Friends of Nomad BSD,
is there a way to customize the menu?
I try to change it in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml. But after using the update_obmenu it’s the same like before.
I have a command line for my teatime message:
With sakura it’s working well.
I want to add it to the menu as item. I try. But I failed.
So is there a way to add it to the menu ?
Thanks for your help.
II followed your instructions.
I have the item in the menu. But it doesn’t work after excuting.
If i do the command line sh -c ‘~/bin/teatimer’ then I got the error: no permission.
If i do the command line sudo sh -c ‘~/bin/teatimer’ then it works fine.
I changed the teatimer.desktop Exec=sudo sh -c ‘~/bin/teatimer’ but that doesn’t work.
Oh, I see. You created that file as root. There is no need to do that, and you shouldn’t. /bin is for the system only. As user nomad create the directory /home/nomad/bin (or ~/bin which the short form. ~ is resolved by the shell to the current user’s home dir) with ´mkdir ~/bin. Then copy the script from /bin/teatimerto/home/nomad/bin` and make it executable for nomad:
Now its working fine! Thank you very much.
Well, I see, I am still a newby.
Today I learned , that i don’t need to use sudo for nano inside my own /home/user path and that I can do a /bin in my /home/user path.
In the next Step, I try to create a Update Item in the menu. Lets see, if Iam able to use, waht I learned today.
Have a nice evening.
On the new NomadBSD 130 version there is on the Thunar file manager on the side panel a bookmark to /usr/local/share/applications.
So its easier to create a new .desktop file and costumize the menu.
costumizing the menu means to make the computer to your own computer. I think this the spirit of Freebsd or Linux and of course - NomadBSD!
So I wrote a small shell skript for creating .desktop files.
