Title: where is "so-called OnDemand sub-menu of the window managers main menu"?
Post by: krooooo on December 24, 2015, 10:41:38 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

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" (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore: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 :'(
