After the latest update I do not have access to Wine installed programs

[Pascal Mons]

The selection for Wine programs disapeared from the drop down menu ...
In the previous version is was working fine.
Can you fix this quickly ? I use it to access Microsoft Office among other wine programs.
It appears as the Administration is now merged with System Tools and Configuration which disappeared in a giant looking one (lots of programs), so I consider this move as not so user friendly.
The only change which is a plus is the All Applications menu along with the addition of the config file for the "Use old icon" ...
And besides that I was looking for the previous version 0.08 and there is no way to get either the source code or the package itself ... no repository (Error 404 on your apache web server) ... ppa only stores the latest uploaded version, and the Ubuntu repo only gets 0.07 ...
I am now back to 0.07 but I definitely would like to find the previous 0.08 which disappeared altogether, if you can have it on your apache web server.

Do you get the WINE entries if you go to the "ClassicMenu Indicator" submenu and deactivate the item "Use alternate menu"?

[Sebastian Thürrschmidt (thuerrschmidt)]

I'm also having various problems since upgrading to classicmenu-indicator 0.09 (from PPA under trusty/14.04). The Wine menu and submenus have disappeared, all Wine apps are listed under "Other". "System Settings" and the three settings categories at the bottom show only a few items with many others missing. Switching to/from the alternate menu doesn't really make things better. The guest session is also affected.

For now I've downgraded to 0.08. If you need more information and/or testing, I'm more than willing to help.

This is a "me too": I also have no Wine in the Menu after upgrade from 0.07 to 0.09. It makes no difference whether I use the "Alternate menu" or not. I am using Ubuntu 13.10; I upgraded from PPA.

I did notice that under "All applications" or "Other" (depending on which menu was being displayed) *all* my Wine entries are there (including Winetricks), but *not* Wine itself.

Here is the output of the commands, above, on my system:

$ env | grep ^XDG

It would be great to get the Wine entry back; meanwhile, I will access my needed Wine programs via "Other".

Thanks!

[dajare (dajare)]

P.S. I'm sure devs don't need this info, but I was just looking for wine.desktop and couldn't find it.

It's not in:
- /usr/share/applications where you expect it to be (although "Winetricks" and "Uninstall Wine" are there);
- /home/user/.wine
- /home/user/.local/share/applications, although loads of Wine things (*.desktop) are there

So where *does* the "root" Wine (wine.desktop) file live??

In Ubuntu 13.10 the package wine1.4 contains the
file /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop

This file contains the line

 NoDisplay=true

so the Wine entry not shown in ClassicMenu Indicator unless you enable
"Show hidden entries" in the "ClassicMenu Indicator" submenu.

[Florian Diesch (diesch)]

This seems to be related to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=701942

Do you get the Wine menu back if you add the following line in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu inmediately
below <DefaultMergeDirs>:

  <MergeDir>/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged</MergeDir>

[Lutz (lutz-4)]

Only the basic entries become visible after adding the requested line <MergeDirs... (like after a fresh wine installation without any own programs)
The installed wine applications reside in menu others anymore.

[dajare (dajare)]

Reply to comment #9 - like Lutz = I get an entry for Wine, but none of the Wine applications are nested under it, as they were with 0.07 (rather, the *only* entry under Wine > Programs is Accessories > Notepad, not any of my installed apps).

This is only if "Use alternate menu" is *not* selected: if I have it with a "tick" (selected), then there is no Wine entry at all.

Re: comment #8 - it makes no difference whether I have "Show hidden entries" enabled or disabled.

[Michael MacEachern (maceach-b)]

I too am having problems with getting WINE to show up with the alternate menu. Also Chrome Apps too.

Without the alternate menu, WINE shows up in 0.09, but but just the programs I installed, not the configure wine app, notepad, or anything. With 0.07 on my laptop, all that did show up, but on my desktop, even 0.07 has the same issue as 0.09 here on my laptop.

So confusing!

[Graham Inggs (ginggs)]

Same problem here.
Wine menu with all applications appear in classicmenu-indicator 0.07, but in 0.09 only:

Programs > Accessories > Notepad
Browse C: Drive
Configure Wine
Uninstall Wine Software
Winetricks

> Do you get the Wine menu back if you add the following line in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu inmediately
> below <DefaultMergeDirs>:

No, this doesn't seem to change anything. I did try logging off and on again (which seems to be necessary when switching between 0.07 and 0.09).

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

Hi, I'm now on Ubuntu 15.04 with the same problem.
After I closed the ClassicMenu Indicator and restarted it, Wine menu appeared again, but most other menus disappeared, see: https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/classicmenu-indicator-zeigt-keine-wine-menues-/

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

Reply to comment #7

I find:
- /usr/share/desktop-directories/wine-wine.directory
- /usr/share/desktop-directories/wine-Programs.directory
...
but not
- /usr/share/desktop-directories/wine.directory
Same here:
- /home/user/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine-wine.directory
- /home/user/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine-Programs.directory
...

I have copied the wine-wine.directory files to wine.directory.
Then restarted my machine, but it didn't help.

[Florian Diesch (diesch)]

This will be fixed in v0.10

As a workaround you should get the Wine menu if you run

    sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged /etc/xdg/menus/unity-lens-applications-merged

if you have "Use alternate menu" enabled in the "ClassicMenu Indicator" submenu or

    sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

otherwise if /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu doesn't exist yet.

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

I have disabled "Use alternate menu", but I only see:
Wine >
Personal >
Hardware >
System >
----------
Classicmenu Indicator >

So the workaround helps to see the Wine menu again, with all desired content, but most other items were disappeared.

When I then enable the alternative menu and add the other workaround, I see a very ugly menu, some of the items are not translated to my language (german), and exactly these items have the same wrong tooth-wheels item. Additionally, the installed applications in the Wine sub-menu Programs were disappeared, they are only accessible from All Applications, which is inconveniently large.

Please note, I now have:
~$ ls -AlR /etc/xdg/menus/
/etc/xdg/menus/:

I also tried with absolute symlinks, which didn't help.

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

I meant:
... wrong tooth-wheels ICON.

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

With "Use alternate menu" disabled, after reboot I again see the complete menu, but again without the Wine menu.

[Florian Diesch (diesch)]

I just uploaded the current version of the upcoming v0.10 to ppa:diesch/experimental

It would be great if you could try if this works for you.

Please remove that PPA from your package sources after installing the classicmenu-indicator package to prevent getting other updates by accident.

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

I now have installed the experimental version.
Looks very great. Thanks for your work.

One nit: I now have 2 Wine menus, the upper between Misc and Science, which is complete, and another below Ubuntu-Software-Center, which is incomplete, only the standard Wine menus in are there, but not the installed programs.

[Graham Inggs (ginggs)]

I also installed the experimental version.
I also have two Wine menus, two Electronics menus and two Wolfram Mathematica menus, all appearing below Ubuntu-Software-Centre. The second Wine menu only contains Winetricks.

Going to Settings/Preferences and disabling 'Add extra/Wine menus' removed the duplicates and I was still able to access programs installed in Wine.

I also disabled the 'Add menu with all apps'. In my opinion it shouldn't be on by default.

[Florian Diesch (diesch)]

Thanks for testing!

I've uploaded anew version to the PPA. Now the second Wine menu should contain all Wine apps, too.

The first Wine menu and the other extra menus are from the menu definition. The second ones are added by CM-I as not all menu definitions include them. I'll probably should change the config dialog to make this clear.

[UlfZibis (ulf-zibis)]

rc-2 works fine here !

[dajare (dajare)]

I have just installed rc-2 from the /experimental PPA, and all seems well. I'm on 14.04 LTS Ubuntu. I've got a couple rogue duplicate entries, but I'm sure that's something *I've* done! In particular, the "Wine" menus are as they should be.

Thanks for this continued development. ClassicMenu Indicator makes Unity bearable! :)
