    If I would want tracker to be the search program, what command would I have to enter in preferences?

  2. Doug says:

    Nice tip – thanks! Runs great on my system.

    asdir – to use the “Synaptic Package Manager” tool, which is what I assume you’re trying to use, just do the following:
    – In Synaptic Package Manager, go to “Settings – Repositories”
    – Click the “Add” button
    – Enter the string listed above (i.e. the “ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa” string) and click “Add source”
    – Wait for the repository to appear
    – Click “Close” to go back to the main Synaptic window
    – Click “Reload” to refresh the list
    – search for “gnomenu”

    No, that was not my question. Thanks for caring though.

    I meant the GnoMenu-Preferences. In there, you can give GnoMenu different commands which to use for different tasks. The default for the search-box is set to “gnome-search-tool”.
    Since I think that this is not equivalent to the tracker search, I’d like to know which command to enter there to get tracker as the default search program.

  4. Jason says:

    I believe you should be able to replace gnome-search-tool with tracker-search to use tracker instead.

  5. asdir says:

    Yep, thanks, that was the kind of answer I was asking for. (Although the correct one would have been “tracker-search-tool”, but it pointed me in the right direction 😉 )

  6. Jason says:

    lol well I was close 😛 Glad you got it worked out!

    I have tried it on gnome but…it works on mouse clicks only no shortcuts. Tried to configure it on Windows key but then it captures all Windows+___ shortcuts. It has a search bar but we cannot type their to find something. On Windows 7 I use start menu as a launcher like launchy, Gnomenu does not take an Enter key as search command it just writes a nonsense character in search query so you have to remove that character and click manually on search to find that application in the menue. It is fancy but buggy.

    I can not see the gnomenu in my add to panel window. Where is it???

  9. Yassinevic says:

    Do you know that you can use GnoMenu with AWN?
    try it it’s great

  10. Lee says:

    I’ve been trying for hours to get GnoMenu to work with AWN with no success. I have the 64 bit version. I got GnoMenu to work on the panel, but not an AWN; it just says Whoops! The applet crashed. Has anyone else had this problem and got it to work?

  11. Ben says:

    Hey Geo, any luck on getting gnomenu to work? I am having the same problem.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    I followed the installation directions from this website and GnoMenu works perfect. At first I followed the directions from the Gnome-Look website.

  13. Simon says:

    I installed this fine under ubuntu 10.10

    However I decided to have a look at the 11.04 alpha…

    When I upgraded my menu button gets cut off where it goes off the panel. i have a custom menu and the menu button goes off the panel a small bit by using 2 seperate .png pictures, but the one that shows off the panel has dissapeared.. how can i fix this?
