Does Linux mintMenu 5.x use in Fedora

[Goldenbodied]

Does anyone know that mint Menu 5.x supports Fedora out of the box because it is giving me error? Because I generally using Fedora in my workplace as well as in my home. I'm the employee of Fusion Linux - Fedora Remix that exercise mintMenu as well as has Linux Mint as one of most important inspirations. I attempted on running new mintMenu 5.1.6 but get this error:

$ mintmenu
dullness is: 150
Setting dullness to: 1.0
No module named configuration object

I can't assist you with Fedora, but I've read about a similar fault someplace in my friends computer. My friend went to /.gconf/Applications and removed the mintMenu folder, it was re-written as well as auto-re-configured on restart. You also need to noticed the "apt" part of the error note. This may have a bit to do with the new apt-search-install characteristic that has been built into the fresh mintMenu.

There was an attempt for making mintMenu 4.x multi-distro well-matched with the Fedora, and that is why most of us incorporated it in Fusion Fedora Remix by default. Has that attempt been discarded so that current as well as new edition of mintMenu will be Ubuntu/Mint simply? If you guys can please formulate it as distro autonomous as probable and I'll ecercise with Fedora devels for mintMenu to get incorporated in official Fedora repositories.

There were talks about of a Fedora version of Linux Mint as well as after some deliberation the project was cancelled. Fedora is a unbelievable distribution as well as it would make a wonderful base to a development like ours, but we require to continue focused and after we focus on our most important tasks, the main editions, the area editions, the development from one release to another and the maintenance of the distributions, we’ve already got projects to work on, like for instance the Debian edition. So there’s no time for R&D on top of a Fedora base and that’s a pity. Most of the people recently put hard work in de-branding the tools and it’s nice to make out them ported to other distributions. Even most of those don’t have the resources to aggressively participate in the fork of mintMenu, we give confidence such initiatives, we sustain the developer behind it and we’re enchanted to see it take place.

Using technologies such as Git as well as GitHub we can effortlessly fork projects as well as keep track of the development and bug fixes done on each fork by the Mintmenu in the Fedora. Commits can be selectively functional as well as so the additional our technologies are forked, the more impetus they get, the more communities make available feedback as well as ideas for them, and the quicker they get better. Fedora is an excellence allocation, with a solid base as well as a great population and it’s nice to see our desktop modernization being ported to it. It’s a bit I in my opinion I will tell that it will support Fedora.

I find it was occasion to catch up as well as inform this how-to. It's pretty slash and dry from the previous one with a few changes and a newer version of mintmenu (version 4.9.3).

Download the "source" system for mintmenu-4.9.5 here:
After unpacking the tar.gz, the main files we want to work with are following:

usr1/bin/mintmenu
usr1/lib/linuxmint
usr1/lib/bonobo/servers

cp -r mintmenu/usr1/lib/linuxmint/ /usr1/lib/
cp mintmenu/usr1/lib/bonobo/servers/mintMenu.server /usr1/lib/bonobo/servers/mintMenu.server
