Hello. Why I dont see gnome menu entries (kali menu). After installation awesome-freedesktop I have only standart debian menu (accessories, development, education, etc). Thank you

What do you mean by gnome/kali menu, and what others entries do you expect to see?

s0i37 commented 5 years ago

I this moment I have this menu: temp But gnome menu has follow entries (alacarte output in this picture): temp2

That is just a custom menu, implemented by your distro mantainers.

This module implements the Freedesktop specification, as screenshotted here, and to do so, it exploits Menubar. So, the real work is done at Awesome level.

If you want that exact menu, you can either set Awesome as Gnome's window manager, or write it yourself.

Yes, but if I understand right, the freedesktop menu get information from /etc/xdg/menus/ directory. My menu also located in /etc/xdg/menus and /usr/share/applications/. And it has format similar debian traditional menu.

And it has format similar debian traditional menu.

It should be fully compliant with Freedesktop specifications, and apparently it is not.

But again, this module exploits Menubar so, if reasonable, your request should be forwarded to Awesome level.

PS: Check if this is the case with your menu's entries https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/2377

You got all the info needed, so I'm closing.
