Adding games to Debian Xfce menu

Yesterday, I wrote briefly that I am now using snaps, this works really well, but does not add items to the Debian XFCE menu automatically.

To solve this I have installed menulibre, which helps users edit the menu.

apt install menulibre

So adding items to this is fairly straight forward.

  1. Load up the menulibre program.

menu —> accessories —> Menu Editor

Launch Program from menu

Once loaded you will be presented with:-

Main Program screen

The + in the corner allows users to add a new entry.

Click on the appropriate place in the menu to add your program to where you want it. You can also move items around with the up / down arrows at the bottom, don't forget to save (see later) what you have changed.

menu 1

You can then enter the details of the program. To save there is an icon to the right of the + Depicting an arrow pointing towards a disk drive. Click this to save.

You can then test to make sure your entry works.

FreeBSD 3

Following on from my previous post which discussed changing the X11 keyboard layout. I had to also change the console layout.

This can be undertaken through editing the appropriate configuration files or with a tool called bsdconfig which needs to be run as root.

The online man page can be found here

This is a menu driven / text based interface. I can't, as yet provide a screen shot, but the man page is comprehensive enough so a screenshot isn't really needed.

To change the keyboard map you will need to find the appropriate section and make the changes.

#bsd, #config, #menu, #settings, #configuration, #tool, #freebsd, #keyboard, #layout, #gb.
