Re: Application Menu problems

What do you mean: "I couldn't follow the link"? The link will not be active until June 1st, so up to tomorrow, there should be nothing to follow. Are you saying that the menu does not show any categories? Have you tried "lxpanelctl restart" or "lxpanelctl menu" in the t...

Details can be found at http://lxlinux.com/menucategoryconfig.html after May 31. Sorry, bandwidth quota for May has been e...

Re: Problem with .desktop files with version 1.3.0

Clicking any .desktop file set to execute will bring up the "execute" box, which is designed to offer you other choices than launching the app. Launching is available this way, but is not the normal way to launch applications. Usually apps are launched from menus, for which an "execut...

Re: mount devtmpfs on ~/test cause device item in side pane?

I think if you just right click on the undesirable entry and click "Eject Removable Media" will get rid of it for at least that session. General mounting controls for Pcmanfm can be reached by clicking: Edit>Preferences>Volume Management. Here you can choose to show "all" or &quo...
