Something New

I will just run in Mate Terminal and do this at lease it works.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ save-session
You must be root to run this!
guest@porteus:~$

Good to see Jack.

Thanks it works now if my changes miss up and I have to delete it for some reason I won't have to start all over with setup my setting.

Ok Jack, now lets try this.

With ncmp's save-session python script saved in your /home/guest/ folder as save-session create this file Save-Session.desktop:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Save-Session
Comment=Save changes to a module or file.
Exec=/home/guest/save-session
Icon=document-save-symbolic
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name[en_US]=Save-Session
StartupNotify=false
Categories=GTK;System;Utility;

Make it classified as Executable then as root copy it to the /usr/share/applications/ folder.

Now a problem. Save-Session shows up in the Porteus menu's Administration menu but when selected it opens a terminal window briefly then disappears. Obviously I screwed up a setting, which I assume is tied to the root requirement. Anyone got a solution/recommendation?

Not sure how to do this Make it classified as Executable.

I have save-session working in the menu now but the Terminal is bigger then Porteus Session Saver but it dose work.

I fixed the code and without a Terminal.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Save-Session
Comment=Save changes to a module or file.
Exec=save-session
Icon=porteus-logo.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name[en_US]=Save-Session
StartupNotify=false

Excellent.

It was in the Menu and I wanted it to work.

Clicking on the Save-Session option? Mine doesn't work from the menu either, even with your change made to the script I posted. So, adding all those modules you posted solved your problem?

gksu-2.0.2-x86_64-1salix15.0.txz
lib64glib1.2-1.2.10-20pclos2015.x86_64.rpm
lib64gtk+1.2-1.2.10-51pclos2019.x86_64.rpm
GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-7.txz
gtk+2-2.24.33-x86_64-2.txz
libgnome-keyring-3.12.0-x86_64-4.txz

Wrong area ED All needs move.

In Control Center run Main Menu go to System Tools go to Save Session then run Properties now when it open look and see what shows should look like this.

Type: Application
Name: Save Session
Command: /usr/share/applications/Save-Session.desktop Browses to find it.
Comment: Save changes to a module or file.

This for Mate
