local applications are not shown in menu (LXDE)

[Alek_A]

hi,

/usr/bin/startlxde implicitly sets XDG_DATA_DIRS:

export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/:/var/lib/menu-xdg/"

so the value passed from ltsp through this variable discarded.
I had to patch /usr/bin/startlxde, to make it work:

export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/:/var/lib/menu-xdg/"

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04

best regards,
Albert

Since the code that breaks XDG_DATA_DIRS is in LXDE, LTSP can't fix it without directly patching startlxde.
This can not be done in a non-intrusive way for thin clients as it requires breaking the server installation (wrong debsums etc).

I'm marking this as won't fix, please file the bug report against LXDE instead.

Hi,

I will If I have time. I just let you know. Thought that there might be the
other way to pass XDG_DATA_DIRS, if not, well...

Best regards,
Albert
