gnomenu doesn't respond on panel or in window.

[deibhaid]

When I click on gnomenu, I don't see any response. I decided to run it in a window to see the error message in the terminal, and I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gnomenu/GnoMenu.py", line 308, in button_press
    if not self.hwg.window.window:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'window'

I am running ubuntu 10.10
It was originally the netbook version(as I don't have a cd for installation), which I modified by installing aptitude etc.
gnomenu was installed with the win2.7 themes

[technoshaun (shaun-marolf)]

Make sure the following dependencies got installed:

python
python-xdg
python-cairo
python-gtk2 - that includes pygtk and python-pango
python-gnomeapplet *** necessary only when running on gnome-panel *** - or in some distros "python gnome desktop"
python-xml - may be needed in older distributions (eg: ubuntu before karmic)

The following recommended packages should be installed to have fullfuctionality.

gmenu - will use this instead of xdg if it is installed
python-numpy - for gtk theme colors and some tab effects
python-gconf - or in some distros "python gnome"
python-keybinder or python-xlib - for keybinding
gettext - for translations

All packages were installed, but I discovered the culprit. I created a test account and gnomenu worked fine, thus the cause was a stale configuration file. Thank you for your assistance.

Please, don

[Teresa e Junior (teresaejunior)]

Sorry for the previous comment, typed the wrong button and couldn't correct it...

Please, don't close this bug report, Gnomenu was working until I had done some tests and uninstalled xfce4-session. I reinstalled it, but simply it doesn't work anymore. The last time this problem occured, it was solved by reinstalling python-gmenu, but now it doesn't help. I purged and reinstalled all dependencies, but still no luck. I created a new user and the problem didn't go away.

The error is the same as reported by deibhaid.

I also got it. installed all dependencies, remove old configuration, still doesn't work.

What theme are you using? I am running GnoMenu in 10.10 and when I run from the terminal I see none of these errors.

[Teresa e Junior (teresaejunior)]

Solved by installing alacarte (which pulls gnome-menus), and simply running it.

The most interesting is that even if you purge alacarte and gnome-menus again, the bug remains solved for all users. So it's kinda system-wide file which is created when you install alacarte or run it (or gnome-menus...).

[technoshaun (shaun-marolf)]

By default GnoMenu has the Super L key set to off because of issues it caused with compiz. If you go into options by right clicking on the menu button and select the preferences tab you can turn it on. Since you appear to be running Xfce I am not sure what issues, if any, this may cause.

[technoshaun (shaun-marolf)]

Xfce user had to install alacarte. Need to fix Xfce menuing issue

[Karuna Murti (karuna-kiranatama)]

Themes: kore
Uninstalling gnomenu, alacarte
Removing configuration (~/.gconf/apps/gnomenu and ~/.gnomenu)
Installing again, still doesn't work

Where else gnomenu store its configuration? Maybe I can try to remove that too.

/usr/share/themes/SHI10/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:85: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick

I had this bug on and off, I was able to get rid of it by resetting pgp-settings in Ubuntu Tweak's Desktop Recovery pane. I had to do this twice, but later when I attempted to set TagScanner as Favorite GnoMenu treated my right-click as a left(?), opened up TagScanner and it produced the same no respond bug again. This time I am unable to fix it as resetting/recovering pgp-settings does not help.

I do not want to reset my entire desktop again, but I will within 12 hours if there is no other possible fix. I will post my results afterwards.

[Amrooz (lonelycommander)]

i had the same problem did all what you mentioned above but nothing solve it .. this is what i did to solve mine
right click GnoMenu button -->Properties -->Icon Selection --> change WIN7 "For me i chose BW "
now it's working fine.. i hope it works with you ..
i hope also that you confirm here if it works or not to help other ppl
i hope form developers of GnoMenu to fix the WIN7 Icon Selection and make it works
Thanks in Advance

[Beholdarkness (beholdarkness)]

I'm sorry but I had problems getting back on the site, probably a lot of people posting Gnomenu bugs... :p

Well reset desktop didn't help. But suddenly for no apparent reason it worked (in AWN, only AWN...) until I tried changing the icons and theme. It doesn't seem to "care" about which icons or themes I change to as long as I change.
Eventually I purged it. There seem to be a lot of issues and bugs with this program and this particular bug seems to have a lot of variables as it came and went for no apparent reasons sometimes.
Sorry but this is all I got.

[Kevin B (kmb101)]

I've tried all of these and nothing works for me... I had this issue once before and don't know how it just started working again. I click the start button but nothing happen I can right click it and get the properties but that is all.
