FAQ #298: “What to do when GnoMenu stops working right”.

I looked at the FAQ and saw that i needed to put something in the terminal. I did just that and found out it still didn't work. Then i tried "sudo" before the command and it worked. I need to have the program running under sudo and then it works. How can i do this for the panel?

This is what i ran in terminal and it worked,

"sudo GnoMenu.py run-in-window"

Its a file permission problem. The GnoMenu executables access levels are to high. The need to be reset to allow any user to execute them. I'll get the info you need and post it here and create a FAQ as well.

Ok. Thanks A lot!!! I will let you know how it goes.

GnoMenu.py is located in /usr/bin
Permissions should be set to root with read write. everyone else as read only and the file set as executable.

Sorry it took so long to get back on this.

Nope, turns out that wasn't the problem. The program had those settings in there already and still nothing. I messed with the permissions a little, including changing myself to the owner, but that didn't help either. I was sure this was the problem. I dont understand why it runs fine when i do "sudo GnoMenu.py run-in-window".

Is it anything to do with the GnoMenuSettings.xml in my home directory? I see that the permissions under that are not set like you said they should be in /usr/bin.

Okay that should be set to you having read write access. You are the owner of that file.

Something in the python configuration has to be off. Though I have no clue as to what.

I dont know why nobody else is having this problem. Maybe it is something i did to the system. Is there a new version coming out with 9.04?

Others have had similar issues. What method did you use to install Gnomenu, source or debs?

I did it via .deb package.

Same method I used. Do you have Tomboy installed?

Yeah i have it.

Okay what about Python permissions? Just about the only thing left I can think of.

Ok, how should i set up python permissions?

PS: What does tomboy have to do with the operation of gnomenu?

The tomboy keybindings file is also used by GnoMenu. This is slated to be deprecated in 2.0 but right now its what GnoMenu uses.

Make sure all base Python config files are readable by all. I doubt you are having issues with executables.

Issue fixed with 1.7 and 1.8
