Gnome Computer Menu Icons

English Applications
1

I am using openSUSE 11.0 with Gnome. I installed calibre to later discover there is no “clean” uninstall. I finally have everything removed except I still have the icon under Computer|More Applications|New Applications. I tried finding this in the sytem but came up empty handed. My question is if I have application icons on this menu where can I look or how can I remove them. I have a couple ATI ones that just show a square with a red X. I want to clean this up but don’t know where to look.

Thanks:)

Hi
In the Control Center -> Main Menu, you should be able to unselect the
item. You could also try removing the schema file in /etc/gconf and run
the gconftool-rebuild to rebuild the database.

Neither of those optioned worked. Under Control Center -> Main Menu there was no entry listed for the application Calibre so I couldn’t remove it. I also tried removed the schema file in /etc/gconf and ran the gconftool-rebuild to rebuild the database. I still see the program icon in the Gnome menu. I thought there would be an easy way to remove it like right-click the icon and select remove, nope. Any other ideas?

Thanks again.

Hi
Anything down in the /usr/share directory that is releated? Maybe even
an fgrep might identify;


sudo fgrep -r calibre /usr/share/*

Nice! That did the trick. I found the files under /usr/share/applications which I then removed both the calibre-gui.desktop and calibre.lrfviewer.desktop. Icons are now gone.

Thanks again malcolmlewis! :slight_smile:
