Hello everybody

I installed Abiword and Ristretto. They don't appear in Fluxbox menu. It's not pleasant and I must use another method to start them.

I didn't have this problem when I installed Synaptic,Thunar and aMSN.

Another (light !) problem : a half of everything is in English : half of fluxbox menu, Iceweasel (the default orthographic correction is English), Abiword, etc...

Can you help me please ? Thanks

Pierre:

The Fluxbox menu (or Icewm menu) can be configured to display and start applications you add. In full Antix, you can edit the menu by clicking Settings>Control Center>Edit Fluxbox Settings and then click on Menu. The syntax is pretty simple, for example

exec (abiword) {abiword}

Usually, apps you add will also show up under Full Fluxbox in the fluxbox menu (at least in the full antix version).

If for some reason you can't do this from control center (or maybe there's no control center in antix base; not sure about this), you can always edit the menu file directly

leafpad .fluxbox/menu

I hope this helps.

It's done for the menu, thanks ! For the language, I didn't take the precaution installing the distrib in French, if it exists.

Do you know any method ?

Thanks !

I'm not sure if this will fix your problem, but you might want to configure antix for French.

In a terminal, as root, type:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

add French (if you haven't done so already).

I hope this helps.

Hello

(language) Thanks.

I did it

In fact I guess it was already done.

It doesn't change anything.

There is no control center un the basic version.

I edited the file directly. I had to edit another file called by the main one (include)

In fact the syntax is :

Code: Select all

exec (abiword) {/etc/bin/abiword}

Nearly everything is now in French : Iceweasel and Abiword for example.

For Iceweasel I installed a package (I 've forgotten the name i'll put it later)

Thanks !

iceweasel-l10n-fr

and the same for icedove, firefox and thunderbird of course

When it is installed, it transforms itself into an extension in the"language" tab in"adds-on".

Reboot the program or maybe the system, I don't remember. It has no immediate effect.
