CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello,

I have installed CrossOver on my arch Linux, but the menu items are not shown on the KDE menu. I can find the programs myself in the cxfolder, but would like the menu to appear automatically.

Is there anyone who know how I can make a symbolic link to the files in ~/.config/menus/ so they appear in the menu? I hope that additional files will then automatically be added to the menu also.

Regards,
René

I also am having the same problem in archlinux (kde) in both 32 & 64bit installs.

Thanks Gerry.

For menu regeneration I've got:

*Regenerate Crossover's Menus in Linux:
~/cxoffice/bin/cxmenu --crossover --install
and/or
~/cxoffice/bin/cxmenu --sync

*Kmenu does not create the Windows Applications menu item.

The error when trying to re-create the menu by command line:
fileparse(): need a valid pathname at
/home/user/cxoffice/lib/perl/CXMenuXDG.pm line 240

~/cxoffice/lib/perl/CXMenuXDG.pm, change line 240, and replace (filename) with (menu)

Also, logging out and back in sometimes gets the menu items to appear. Or opening the menu editor, making a change, and then saving can get Crossover to appear.

Well, what Andrew suggested, didn`t work for me.

I tried both of the commands he suggested, but while the former ends without any trouble, the latters barks at me like this:

Use of uninitialized value in -d at /home/edwin/cxgames/lib/perl/CXBottle.pm line 157.
Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /home/edwin/cxgames/lib/perl/CXUtils.pm line 965.
cxmenu:error: invalid 'default' bottle: '' is not a directory
cxmenu:error: try 'cxmenu --help' for more information
