where is "so-called OnDemand sub-menu of the window managers main menu"?
« on: December 24, 2015, 07:41:38 AM »
This question is about "Packages can be loaded manually by calling sce-load and issuing necessary start-up commands. For greater comfort in a graphical desktop, they can be made available through the so-called OnDemand sub-menu of the window managers main menu. " (from http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:handling_extensions#ondemand)

My desktop is xfce4, where is  "so-called OnDemand sub-menu of the window managers main menu"?

Thanks

As far as I understand XFCE is not among the supported window managers / desktop environments, cf. http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:x-desktop. So the ondemand mechanism might not be supported.

If you're contemplating a change, Fluxbox works very well in dCore-jessie including the ondemand menu.

dislike fluxbox...besides xfce4, openbox is OK but if I use openbox as desktop then open-vm-tools-desktop will not work...

If Openbox is okay for you then you might want to try LXDE instead of XFCE. The wiki article "Migrating from FLWM to LXDE" explains how to get the Ondemand menu working in Openbox which underlies LXDE. Don't know a thing about open-vm-tools-desktop, though.

I tried LXDE, it's a good desktop, but unfortunately, open-vm-tools-desktop do not work :'(
