CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I'm using Kubuntu 32bit v9.10 with KDE v4.3 (Fully Updated) and when I installed CrossOver Office Standard v8.0.0-1 I didn't get the menu. I then installed CrossOver Games v8.0.0-1 and also didn't get a menu with it. I'm using a fresh install of Kubuntu as of yesterday morning, and have only added a few things (FireFox Browser, CrossOver & KPatience Card Game) and have removed only 1 thing, Konquerer Web Browser and ran the 'sudo apt-get autoremove' afterwards to clean it all up.

I'm running on a Toshiba X205-SLi5 Laptop with only Kubuntu.
-2.4GHz Intel Core2 Duo CPU
-4GB Corsair 800mhz Memory
-2x nVidia 7800m GT 512mb Video Cards
-2x 120GB HDDs (Currently only utilizing 1st Drive)

I can't think of what would be causing this issue, and it's only happened with CrossOver as when I installed FireFox and KPatience, both dropped in the menu items. Can someone please list in-detail all of the Menu Items for both CrossOver Office and for CrossOver Games so I can manually recreate them? Thanks in Advance!

**Edit: I rebooted as well as checked the Synaptic Package Manager and both CrossOver Office & Games are installed. Still no Menus.
After Removing Completely via Synaptic Package Manager, I ran the DEBs again and this is the result.

Is there a way I can get this all working?

The "chmod: cannot access" message makes me thing Synaptic couldn't create the directories it needed to when installing the Crossover .deb. That may be a permissions error with Synaptic not running as root. Is this a new install of Kubuntu 9.10 or an upgrade?

It's a new install and yes, you're right, I had to set myself as Root, because I couldn't logon as Root no matter what I tried with Kubuntu v9.10, even after setting the root password, still couldn't logon as root. But, I got both Office and Games installed perfectly, but Office shows it's menu items and Games does not, so I'm going to manually add all of the CrossOver Games Menu Items once I find out exactly to the T what they are. I'm still very much a Linux newbie although I've been around it since it's beginning on and off.

NOTE: it is generally advised not to allow root to login to X....however...

Just a point -- you have to allow root logins in your kdm config, but I've no idea where
Kubuntu put this file -- on my system, it's at /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc , but many
distros put this file into /etc somewhere instead....do;

bash-3.2$ find / -name kdmrc

and you'll find it (although perhaps you can get to this via a config GUI for kdm itself
in Kubuntu...ie; at the login screen time)....hard to say, as Kubuntu tends to hide or
disable such functions.....but....this'll be why you can't login as root ;)
