SOLVED! Edit menu default entries

[ccc]

Hi

Where are default entries from panel menu stored?

[seppalta]

Not sure what you are asking. Main menu items are coordinated with .desktop files, the main menu categories are /etc/xdg/menus, and the taskbar (panels) controls can be brought up by right clicking the panel. See for http://douwil7.100webspace.net/linux/Tuning.html for more information and details.

I'd like to change & find out where the "Logout" button from the main menu is.
It is not /etc/xdg/menus and not in /usr/share/applications.

found it in ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE

in the config file for the panel, you have this entry for the "start menu".
this looks easy and plain, I guess we can add an icon for the run box dialog

Code: Select all

Plugin {
    type = menu
    Config {
        image=/usr/share/lxde/images/lxde-icon.png
        system {
        }
        separator {
        }
        item {
            command=run
        }
        separator {
        }
        item {
            image=gnome-logout
            command=logout
        }
    }
}

lxpanel may overwrite it so it may be best to refrain from right-clicking, or making the file read-only and see how much it likes that.

and the other config file is that, which contains what is run if you hit the button, less useful but you could do something crazy like a command that logs you out right now with no warning.

Code: Select all

[Command]
FileManager=pcmanfm %s
Terminal=x-terminal-emulator
Logout=lxde-logout

everything else, that deals with .desktop files and maybe /etc/xdg/this_and_that, is what is called by "system {" in the file.
lxmed deals brilliantly with that (if you hadn't installed it yet)

What I really need, if I press on "Logout" button from the main menu, the machine should shutdown immediately, without a pop-up or asking anything.
Do you know howto configure?

Thx a lot for the excellent support it works well now!

Below howto change "Logout" instead of session logout to the system shutdown:

I've changed in /.config/lxpanel/LXDE/config:

Code: Select all

[Command]
FileManager=pcmanfm %s
Terminal=x-terminal-emulator
[b]Logout=/usr/bin/lxde-session-shutdown.sh[/b]

I've changed /usr/share/applications/lxde-logout.desktop:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Logout
Name[de]=Abmelden
Name[fi]=Kirjaudu ulos
Name[pt]=Terminar sessão
Name[zh_TW]=登出
Comment=shutdown
Comment[de]=Abmelden, herunterfahren oder neu starten
Comment[fi]=Kirjaudu ulos, sammuta tai käynnistä tietokone uudelleen
Comment[pt]=Terminar sessão, desligar ou reiniciar
Comment[zh_TW]=登出、關機、或重新開機
Icon=gnome-logout
Exec=/usr/bin/lxde-session-shutdown.sh
NoDisplay=true

and I've created this shutdown script /usr/bin/lxde-session-shutdown.sh:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now $*
