How do I change the Suse menu in Gnome? All I want to do is to add extra programs to the Suse menu. I tried logging in as a nomal user and changing it and it gives me permission errors, so then i logged in as the root and changed it and this worked but the change was only visible for the root. When I logged back in as a normal user the programs I had added to the menu were not there.
root has itīs own home folder to store preferences. as has every user. i donīt know how much suse has modified stuff, but maybe you can copy your rootīs menu to your home folder and change permissions to use it?
that show's you how to change applications:///. I want to change suse-menu:/// but I have a problem with permissions. I can't write to this unless I am root and I when i am the root and write to it this only appears for the root not a normal user.
To find out where the file is located, try the following:
1. Log in as root
2. Make a file called "time"
3. Add whatever you want to the menu and save the config
4. Use find to locate all files newer than "time" (find / -newer /root/time -print)
The find command will probably take a while, but it should point you to the modified config file. At that point you can look for a corresponding file for your user account and edit it accordingly or copy root's config and modify the permissions.
