Дмитрий Полянин's questions

I have programs from snap - Telegram, Skype and some others.

And I have secondary ntfs hdd drive shared with Windows.

All programs from snap can not read files from ntfs - Telegram, Skype.

I know that my Kubuntu using ntfs-3g driver.

ntfs drive mounts with dolfin (or I can mount on startup with KDE settings GUI with the same result).

The same programs from other repositories works fine.

Can it be solved, and how?

PS: I tried the way here. It fixes problem with Telegram using

sudo snap connect telegram-desktop:removable-media

but the same does not work with skype.

sudo snap connect skype:removable-media

error: snap "skype" has no plug named "removable-media"

I installed oh-my-zsh and set zsh as my default shell.

chsh -s /bin/zsh

After that many menu items in KDE menu disappeared.

For example Telegram, starting with:

env AMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/telegram-desktop_telegramdesktop.desktop /snap/bin/telegram-desktop -- %u

If I switch default shell to bash again, all menu items appeared.

I tried to set env variables in .zshrc

  export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/plasma:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
  export DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/plasma.default.path
  export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/okeanij/.dotnet
  export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings
  export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
  export XAUTHORITY=/home/okeanij/.Xauthority
  export XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session1
  export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=KDE
  export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
  export XDG_VTNR=1

But it did not help.

My full env log when bash is default and menu working properly:

I make one experiment. In KDE menu editor I just copy Telegram item, and get Telegram 2.
And it is very strange: Telegram 2 is showing properly when zsh is the default shell.
But this is not a solution.

Tried to install caffeine, and it's not working.

I have Kubuntu 18.10, KDE Plazma 5.14.4

Do this way

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get install caffeine

And from default Kubunto repository ubuntu-cosmic-universe with the same result.

Caffiene version on both variant was 2.9.4-1

After launch caffeine-indicator and activate from tray.

If I try to run caffeine from KDE menu, nothing happened, no window opened.

If run from console its runs without any output and without window, but don't work.

How can I configure the applications menu in KDE (Menu -> Computer section)?

I want to add some items such as: mount and system monitor.

Updated:

What I do.

Open file .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

I have this section:

[Containments][24][Applets][61][Configuration][General]
favoritesPortedToKAstats=true
icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/ubuntu-logo.png
menuItems=bookmark:t,application:t,computer:t,leave:t,oftenUsed:f,used:f
showAppsByName=true
useExtraRunners=false

And I replace with this on killed plasmashell with

[Containments][24][Applets][61][Configuration][General]
favoritesPortedToKAstats=true
icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/ubuntu-logo.png
menuItems=bookmark:t,application:t,computer:t,leave:t,oftenUsed:f,used:f
systemApplications=systemsettings.desktop,org.kde.kinfocenter.desktop,org.kde.discover.desktop,org.kde.muon,skype_skypeforlinux,org.kde.konsole
showAppsByName=true
useExtraRunners=false

I added some apps in the end of systemApplications, see code above: org.kde.muon,skype_skypeforlinux,org.kde.konsole this names I got from menu items when click to edit them, copy and paste here.

And restart plasmashell. And nothing changes.

I go to this file, and see that 1 code rewoke, and line

systemApplications=systemsettings.desktop,org.kde.kinfocenter.desktop,org.kde.discover.desktop,org.kde.muon,skype_skypeforlinux,org.kde.konsole

Disapiared tottaly.
Mabe its cached somewhere or my added apps It did not like...
