I still didn't give it a try, but i'll do. On the other hand, i'm improving the response time of the header in the popupmenu. As some user in the IRC channel would say, this part needs more love:) Now, you need to add the whole "exec" field in the *.desktop entries as arguments in the command line, for example: popupmenu "exo-open --launch FileManager %u" "medit %F" otherwise, the application will be missing in the header. Hi Aitor, I skimmed your source, and also the source of menu-cache.h, which I found on the net someplace. I couldn't figure out the structure by which your menu hierarchy is stored on the hard disk. Do you have any documentation about configuring popupmenu's menu hierarchy? Does popupmenu's menu hierarchy get updated every time someone installs a new application? That would be a cool thing to add to UMENU2, but I have no idea how to do it. Does popupmenu have, or will it have, a mode by which someone can modify the menu hierarchy or add/delete/change menu items via an intuitive form that asks for and acquires user input? That's something UMENU2 doesn't have yet. You mentioned that part of popupmenu isn't as fast as you'd like (presumably slower than the user can type/mouse). Does popupmenu run anew everytime someone clicks on the start button? I'm pretty sure any time consumption at all comparable to human typing speed involves reading from the hard disk. In UMENU Classic I solved this by busting the hierarchy file into individual single menu files. It was a mess. UMENU2 puts the entire hierarchy in a directory tree, so the entirety of the requested menu's information is contained in the direct subdirectories of that menu entry's directory. Which makes it lightning fast. Maybe you can do something like UMENU Classic or UMENU2, or perhaps create an index file to point at specific menus within the hierarchy. Or maybe the code in menu-cache.h/menu-cache.c is meant to address this problem. Thanks for your interest on the popupmenu. I'll replay in more detail to your requests shortly. For now, i'll only clarify that the popupmenu's hierarchy is in the: void gen_menu (MenuCacheDir*, GtkWidget*); calling itself recursivelly. Clone the newest sources of the popupmenu. I pushed all the tags to the remote repository; so, you don't need to create the upstream/0.1.2 as you can see in the following screenshot, more sublevels are allowed under the root level in the directories hierarchy (in this case, the next level is libreoffice): http://gnuinos.org/2018-01-30--1517320487_1600x900_scrot.png I'll try to help you developing the GUI for your UMENU. This will not be very difficult, be sure. Menus are fun, aren't they? Yes, they are. This thread will be funny :) Have a nice day, Aitor. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] upgraded to Ascii, but now sqwebmail isn't working
Hi again. Thanks to KatolaZ for your reply to my libapache-mod-mono issue. Your comment that I'd be surprised how many production systems are running Ascii stuck with me, and so I took the plunge, and upgraded my production system again from jessie to Ascii. The good news is that the upgrade seems to have gone without problems. I haven't rebooted yet since upgrading, but I will be doing that a bit later once I finalize things. Another good news is that libapache2-mod-mono is indeed back, and does seem to work like it should. The bad news is that now sqwebmail isn't working, and it still did after my upgrade to jessie. I have a couple users who insist on using webmail exclusively, so this is another big one for me. I am using postfix as my MTA, and courier for imap. Using imap over ssl does work, so I know that both that and the courier authentication library authdaemond are working. When I bring up cgi-bin/sqwebmail, I get this: "System unavailable System unavailable The web page you're trying to access is not available at this time. Please try again later. (connect: Permission denied)" My apache logs and mail logs don't show anything unusual. I have also restarted the sqwebmaild service, and that restarted without errors. The interesting thing is that when I stop the sqwebmaild service, I get the same web page. So, I suspect this has something to do with how the sqwebmail web frontend communicates with the sqwebmaild service. I haven't looked at the sqwebmail source code, and a few web searches don't bring up anything explaining how the communication takes place. Web searches on sqwebmail permission denied and sqwebmail connect don't bring up anything useful either. There is one thing I changed after the sqwebmail install. It symlinks /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sqwebmail to /usr/lib/courier/courier/webmail/webmail. Since I don't follow symlinks from cgi-bin, I simply copied /usr/lib/courier/courier/webmail/webmail to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sqwebmail. The courier docs indicate I can copy the sqwebmail binary to where ever my cgi-bin scripts live. The permissions for sqwebmail I have are: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14328 May 8 2017 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sqwebmail This is the same as for the installed webmail binary in /usr/lib/courier/courier/webmail/webmail. To see if there is a difference, I uninstalled the sqwebmail package that comes with Ascii, and installed the one that comes with jessie, but that doesn't help. So whatever is causing this, doesn't seem to be specific to the sqwebmail package. Again, any suggestions on what else to look at are appreciated before I find a courier list, or build sqwebmail from source, which should be a bit better than rebuilding apache. Of course, it's possible a reboot is all I need, but I don't see what real difference that would make. Thanks.
