No items shown

[kjyv]

I can start mylaunchpad now but no icons are shown. There are some categories on top if I install menu-xdg (in debian). It looks like the menu items are not directly found from this kind of menu file which only includes directories which then include items. Trying xfce-applications, I get "ocurrio un problema". This is on a system where no X server etc was installed and I installed things I needed and as such may be missing some packages compared to a standard full distribution install.

Hi @kjyv give me the output of:
ls /etc/xdg/menus/

$ ls -la /etc/xdg/menus/

I remember that you need a package named gnome-menus but I'm not sure about name. Or another xdg-menu El may 21, 2017 2:42 PM, "Stefan Bethge" <notifications@github.com> escribió:

I installed it and the files look like this now:
ls -la /etc/xdg/menus/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mai 21 21:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Mai 17 18:43 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mai 21 21:10 applications.menu -> gnome-applications.menu
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Jan 17 2010 debian-menu.menu -> /var/lib/menu-xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19124 Apr 1 2015 gnome-applications.menu
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4293 Aug 31 2014 xfce-applications.menu

No change in behavior, even though applications.menu includes actual entries now.

I don't.think is a mylauchpad issue try run my-luanchpad with gnome-applications argument You can try use mylaunchpad core to generate a xml file Clone the repository an run python ob_pipe_menu.py default All You should generate a xml ouput with menu entries: You can try changue default arg with diferent xdg-menus names like gnome-applications etc El may 21, 2017 3:52 PM, "Stefan Bethge" <notifications@github.com> escribió:

I indeed get icons when supplying the gnome-applications argument. I was under the impression that the default applications menu (which links to gnome-applications) should work as well. Great!
I think the real issue was that mylaunchpad does not work with xdg-menu files that only include directories like the xfce-applications.menu. You might add to the readme that installing gnome-menus is required on debian derivates.

Thanks you Stefan I will close the issue and update readme later. Enjoy mylaunchpad. El may 22, 2017 3:50 AM, "Stefan Bethge" <notifications@github.com> escribió:
