Gnome 3 Application menu in root apps

When starting a Gnome 3 app with sudo (e.g. gedit, nautilus), I can't open the application menu in the top bar.
Is there a solution for this? I tried Google but couldn't find anything...
Thanks!

Thanks for the nice tip. However, I don't think this is expected behaviour, is it? Should we file a bug against Gnome-Shell for this?
I can't think that this would be expected behaviour. The global menus need to work no matter what, especially since many programs have moved core functionality to these menus. I think this does need a bug report. I've had a quick peruse of gnome bugzilla and haven't found any similar reports so far.

GNOME: Application Menu loses entries

Hi there,
When editing an entry in the Applications menu (say, changing the icon), the entry disappears. Custom application launchers aren't listed in the Applications menu, either, not even after restarting the panel or quitting / logging in GNOME 2.8.
All launchers, both edited and custom ones, are available in applications:/// mind.
Where exactly does the Applications menu get its entries?

This is how I can make entries to the Applications menu again: the .desktop file has to contain the lines below. When I add a menuentry with the "Add new item to this menu" I get a .desktop file in ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications. This .desktop file is missing the "Categories:" line and contains a line "TryExec:" I have to delete the "TryExec" line and insert a "Categories:" line (see sample below) then I copy this .desktop file to the /usr/share/applications directory and the menu entry will appear. No need to set any permissions! Hope this is a workaround for you other guys too!

No entries in Gnome applications menu

Hello,
Recently all of the entries in my applications menu have dissappeared. I don't know what did it...
I tried rm -rf .gnome* .gconf*, but that didn't work.
Any ideas on how to get them back?

Try adding a new user and logging into Gnome and see if they come back. If so, transfer your files over and delete the old user. It's faster than trying to debug...

Cannot run scripts via GNOME applications menu

I have a few posts in the applications menu, like "Android Notifier Desktop" and the commando runs a script: "/usr/share/android-notifier-desktop/run.sh".
That doesnt work anymore, I have to run it via the terminal now. I think it happend when I upgraded to GNOME 2.32. What to do?

Thanks for your help. Nothing happens when I click the serial number. But I looked in Library/Receipts and found an update for 10.4.9, so I assume that is what I am running. I am also having problems with other applications such as MS Word and I get a different error message that says "Application Launch Failure: The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonCore>"" Any advice?

Arch Logo & Gnome Applications Menu

Does anyone know how to change the gnome-foot icon to the arch logo?
I am reffering to the icon next to the Applications menu.

Missing Applications Menu in Awesome (- gnome)

I installed awesome. Love it. It's super fun and makes life as convenient as a window manager ever possibly could, without caving in to the ways of the smart-phone computer.
I cheated a bit and had it set up as the window manager for gnome. Not complaining, it makes a few things easier to work with, and it's a bit more stylish. Just thought I'd shoot out one small question...
When awesome is started like this:
exec ck-launch-session awesome
I found I was able to get a very nice applications menu by typing fn+F5
When started alongside gnome in GDM, however, this functionality is gone. I'm guessing that conflicts with something gnome usually does when fn+F5 is pressed (change monitors? idk not important...)
The point is, I really liked that awesome menu!
Granted, it's not the best keybinding in the world. I'd love to change it! But I can't find it anywhere in rc.lua! The config file for awesome contains no instance of "F5" or "Super_L,"or any other form of reference to either of those keys. But it works when I ditch gnome and startx instead!
(Checking my work with xev:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
root 0x14d, subw 0x0, time 1387524, (762,-16), root:(763,0),
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
root 0x14d, subw 0x0, time 1651773, (716,-9), root:(717,7),
state 0x0, keycode 71 (keysym 0xffc2, F5), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Anyways, I'm a bit confused by this situation. If anyone knows a tip for where to find that application menu again with an awesome gnome session, this is the most welcome place in the world to share it!
~~~~~=:)
EDIT: "Mod4+p" also does the trick in awesome; also doesn't work with the desktop environment.
I found
-- Menubar
awful.key({ modkey }, "p", function() menubar.show() end)
in rc.lua after all!
Still confused as to why menubar is cancelled out by gnome...

Tom, thanks for the input so far. Explain exactly what you mean by "Depends on how I'm doing it".
Forgive me for pressing the issue but I want to know exactly what is going wrong during the install process to cause this issue. What preparation needs to be done before running the installer besides the usual permissions repair before and after the install is complete. How would you install from the CD?

How Do I Change the Language of Start Menu and Modern Apps After I Installed Windows? Applying Language Pack only Localizes Traditional Applications?

Howdy,
I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview with original language settings for the US region.
No that I need my Windows localized to Espanol - Spanish.
I type "language' in Cortana, select Add language to this device and click Add a language on the Region & language.
Then I select added language and click Set as primary.
After the restart I see that while Windows Explorer is displayed in Spanish, Start menu is displayed in English (including app sections such as Explore Windows), as well as Modern apps that have retained their English names (such as Mail).
I even set the location to Spain in regional settings (although I didn't like the idea, as I want to browse the US market). To no avail.
How do I change the language of the Start menu and modern apps?
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Okay, I ran the in-place upgrade and it worked!
What I did:
1. Downloaded and attached Espanol edition of Windows Setup ISO.
2. Started setup.exe from that ISO.
TIP: If need be, you can downgrade your installation of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview by changing two registry values, EditionID and ProductName. You may use the following registry file on Windows 10 Enterprise
Technical Preview:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Professional"
"ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview"
Import these settings into registry and start setup wizard from the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview setup CD. Voila! Windows will offer upgrade of your current setup of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview with
saving all your settings and applications!
The only thing that wasn't localized are the new app sections. I still see Explore Windows and Everyday apps. Probably, these UI strings haven't yet been translated.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

"Application module is not a root app module but has no parent"

This is to follow up on my answered question on rootAN substitution
Re: "login session has expired" after am substitution
I am working on an OAF extension.
I have a new LOV region. I extended (to be substituted) the seeded VO, call it xxVO. And I have three custom methods using this xxVO that are called from processFormRequest of my controller which extends the seeded controller.
So putting these methods in rootAM and AM substitution didn't work as some folks pointed out.
So I created xxAM (extends root AM), put xxVO in xxAM’s data model and put my methods in xxAM, set this xxAM as AMDefinition for my custom LOV region.
In my controller I do
OAApplicationModule xxAM = new xxprg.oracle.apps.icx.por.req.server.xxprgRequisitionAMImpl();
But I am getting
=> oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException: JBO-25301: Application module is not a root app module but has no parent
at
xxAM.invokeMethod("handleChangeRequester", parameters);
I found a few posts on the same topic. One advise was to not instantiate ‘new’ AM but do something like this
Xo2cAcctOviewExtAMImpl amExt = (Xo2cAcctOviewExtAMImpl )pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
In this example I am confused about the fact that ‘getApplicationModule(webBean);’ which is used in the signature of the processFormRequest will return a ‘rootAM’, is this correct?
There was another workaround mentioned in other posts to not use xxAM at all but build a class to mimic an xxAM passing all needed values that custom methods require. In which case how(or better where) do I instantiate xxVO since now xxVO won’t be part of any AM data model?
Can someone please clarify.
Thank you
Anatoliy

Pratap,
Thank you for the response.
The reason I need to use new xxCO on the page is this.
Seeded page CheckoutLinesPG.
It has advanced table on it where every column has it's one external region.
The new LOV region xxRN is put on a page also under this table new column.
1. When a requester (seeded region on the seeded page) is changed then my xxLOV should reflect the change and be populated according to what is selected in the Requester LOV.
2. When one-time address is added (another seeded region on the seeded page) my xxLOV should be disabled, when one time address taken out - enabled again.
So xxCO should apply to the whole page.
The VO behind advanced table PoRequisitionLinesVO is extended with 2 additional attributes and will substitute, the new xxVO is under xxAM data model.
All works fine with my methods in the seeded RequisitionAM which I get a handle to in the xxCO. But I don;t know how to get the handle to the xxAM if I put my methods there.
Thanks,
Anatoliy
P.S. just fyi - I know it is not the recommended approach but what I did for now I put all calls into the controller - in the controller I can get a handle to root AM, through that I am getting a handle to xxVO which (!) is substituted during runtime with my xxVO. But if you can figure out how to get a handle to xxAM in my case it will be great.

[Solved] Gnome 3.6. - no application menu after update

After the Gnome-Shell-Update there are no applications anymore in the Gnome desktop. I have to start programmes with 'Alt + F2' and it's not possible to pin them in the Dash. They don't appear in the Gnome's desktop search either.
If I'm starting alacarte the error message "can not load menu tree 'applications.menus'" appeared. Has somebody an idea how to fix this problem? Thanks in advantage!

I found the solution:
The applications.menu in ~/.config/menus/ was empty. I copied the application.menu from /etc/xdg/menus/ to the .config-file. Now, everything works fine.

JBO-25301: Application module ... is not a root app module but has no..

Hello,
Tools:_
Jdeveloper 10.1.2
JPDK 10.1.2
ADF
Portal version 10.1.2 (repository upgrade 10.1.4)
Problem:_
I have an application that calls other application module from it's own application module. Some times it gives error (not every time):
•     JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException, msg=JBO-25301: Application module FormHistoryServiceLocal is not a root app module but has no parent
•        JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException, msg=JBO-25301: Application module FormHistoryServiceLocal is not a root app module but has no parent
•           JBO-25301: Application module FormHistoryServiceLocal is not a root app module but has no parent
Code that application uses to call other application module:_
public ApplicationHandler( ApplicationModule rootModule )
    try
      if(rootModule != null)
        formHistory = (FormHistoryService)rootModule.findApplicationModule(FORMHISTORYSERVICE_LOCAL);
        if(formHistory == null){
          formHistory = (FormHistoryService)rootModule.createApplicationModule( FORMHISTORYSERVICE_LOCAL, FORMHISTORYSERVICE_DEF );
        userInfoDAO.connect();
      }else System.out.println("Application Module was NULL");
    }catch(Exception e)
      e.printStackTrace();
(calls: formHistory.addToHistory())
The other application module:+
public void addToHistory( Number formId, Number status, Number type, Number userId, String event )
    FormhistoryDefImpl defImpl = (FormhistoryDefImpl)EntityDefImpl.findDefObject("com.mysite.app.Formhistory");
    FormhistoryImpl fh = (FormhistoryImpl)defImpl.CreateFormhistory( this.getDBTransaction(), new NameValuePairs() ); //************ Exception is thrown from here! ************
    fh.setFormid(formId);
    fh.setStatus(status);
    fh.setType(type);
    fh.setUserid(userId);
    fh.setEvent(event);
    oracle.jbo.domain.Date eventTimestamp = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date((new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime())));
    fh.setEventtimestamp(eventTimestamp);
    this.getTransaction().commit();
What's wrong here?
JBO description:+
JBO-25301: InvalidOwnerException
Cause: While traversing the parenthood chain for application modules, a child application module was found with no container (parent) application module.
Action: If this application has added custom business component classes, it may be that the application code is attempting to access a child application module before it is fully initialized. If this is not the case, this error probably represents some internal error in BC4J framework, in which case contact BC4J Technical Support.
How can i ensure that child application module is already initialized?

Anyone?

How to add PSP (PL/SQL Server Page) application to an Oracle Apps 11i menu

How can I add a small application (drilldown search) I developed using psp (pl/sql server page) into a menu inside Oracle Apps 11i?

Hi
Here's how I do it:
1. Create the function.
In the Function Type use one of the PLSQL options, for example WWK which is a popup PL/SQL function.
In the web_html_call, simply add the package.procedure
2. Setup Security
In order to be able to call a PL/SQL procedure from a web page, you need to add it to web enabled PL/SQL
Do this in System Administrator, under "Security / Web Enabled PL/SQL " or similar (can't remember offhand)
3. Make the call
You should then be able to call it using
http://server:port/pls/DBSID/package.procedure
Obviously substiture DBSID for you database SID.
Should work, done it loads..

Application module AppModuleImpl_1 is not root app module but has no parent

Dear all
every time i am trying to run any script on appmodule level i am getting this error Application module AppModuleImpl_1 is not a root app module but has no parent
what is wrong i write every time in my code that causes this error ?
Many Thanks

This is the method inside the backing bean :
    public String cb2_action() {
            DemoImpl demo = new DemoImpl();
        demo.prop(getLocid().toString(),getHoldesc().toString());
return null;
}This method "prop" is written inside the AM called "Demo" :
    public void prop(String locid, String holdesc) {
CallableStatement st = null ;
            try {
            StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();
            str.append(" BEGIN ");
            str.append(" test_package.prop( ");
            str.append("       locid           => :1, ");
            str.append("       holdesc         => :2 ");
            str.append("    ); ");
            str.append(" END; ");
          st =getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(str.toString(), 1);
              st.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(locid));
            st.setString(2, holdesc);
            st.execute();
        } catch (SQLException sqle) {
            // TODO: Add catch code
            sqle.printStackTrace();

Re-add Gnome Icon to fallback mode "Applications" menu

Hello,
I'm trying to re-add the gnome icon to the fallback mode "Applications" menu. Currently, the menu only has "Applications" with no gnome foot to the left of it (like how gnome 2 was laid out):
Can anyone suggest how to re-add this icon? I've looked through my theme files but can't seem to find anything relating to the applications menu.
Thanks!

It's a bug in gnome-themes-standard:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687314
Until it is not fixed, you have the following options:
- Revert the patch and rebuild gnome-themes-standard.
- Downgrade to gnome-themes-standard 3.6.0.
- Switch to another GTK+ theme.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.2 - Applications Menu empty after update

After updating all my boxes from 3.0 to 3.2, one of them got the Applications Menu wiped. The .desktop files are all there but none show up in the Menu, it's just empty.
Apart from that everything seems to work just fine, did anyone came across a similiar problem or knows a solution ? I tried to google how to regenerate the Menu but failed to find anything useful and/or gnome3 related.

[SOLVED] EvilWM applications menu

Does anyone know of any good GNOME or KDE style applications menu that I can use with evilwm?
Last edited by subraizada3 (2013-08-24 17:46:32)

I mean something like the GNOME 2 menu, with all the applications in it, or the menu in the lower right of KDE.
Basically just any menu with a list of applications.
9menu could work but it requires the user to enter the applications.
The reason I need this is because I often install lots of apps at once (such as games) and look through them / delete the ones I don't like a few days later. Without a menu that adds all the applications in it, I forget about apps that I previously installed, and this can lead to a lot of bloat (dependencies also don't get uninstalled) and occasionally package conflicts.
