How can you hide unwanted apps from the gnome app menu?



I've installed alacarte/main menu, unticked the apps but they still appear.



I've also checked in /usr/share/applications and viewed one the apps I don't want to appear and it says NoDisplay=true but still it shows.






gnome3 icons menu

  • Hi don, spot on with the ~/.local/share/applications I found a few .desktop files in there. Also seems that it should be Hidden=true rather than NoDisplay=true which alacarte sets.

According to the FreeDesktop documentation (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.1.html) the correct option is NoDisplay=true for what you want to achieve.



Try to create a copy of an existing file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications (with a different name so that you can easily identify it) and set both options to see the behaviour.

            Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
