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.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
