I don't mean a SUBMENU item of "Preferences" . I mean physically underneath the "Preferences" menu item.

Sorry yes that’s the one I mean, the entry physically under “Preferences” (between Preferences & Software Manager)

You are editing the panel file in the kids account right ?

Yes I’m in Chloes account at the moment, I also tried cleaning up the config file & restarting but it’s still there

try moving the backup you made to a different directory

try moving the backup you made to a different directory

Ok I moved it to ~/home/Downloads on the adult account then logged back inti Chloes account but it’s still there like a limpet

24

Peppermint 3 or 4 ?

and I’ll have a test myself

25

PM 4

26

What’s the output from:

ls -a /home/chloe/.config/lxpanel/Peppermint/panels
27

chloe@Our-PC ~ $ ls -a /home/chloe/.config/lxpanel/Peppermint/panels
. … panel panel~
chloe@Our-PC ~ $

It’s possible what I’m trying to do may not work anyway becaus any SSBs I create in one user account doesn’t seem to pass over to another so if I remove Chromium I wont be able to create any SSBs unless I access Chromium from the terminal, and secondly whatever I’ve done so far has meant I can no longer open Ice on Chloes desktop although I can still open it in the others

29

run:

rm -v /home/chloe/.config/lxpanel/Peppermint/panels/panel~

then

lxpanelctl restart

has Chromium gone now ?

[EDIT]

Don’t worry about the Ice thing … that’ll be easily fixable.

Ok I ran that command and the Chromium entry is still there

has Chromium gone now ?

No I still have Chromium but I can’t open Ice

31 
chloe@Our-PC ~ $ ice
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ice", line 376, in <module>
    Ice()
  File "/usr/bin/ice", line 292, in __init__

Copy the chromium-browser.desktop file back from the admin accounts
~/.local/share/applications
to
/usr/share/applications

Then see if Ice works in Chloes account.

We can hide Chromium another way … lets fix Ice first

33

Ok I sorted out the Ice problem it was a bad icon,
but that doesn’t solve the problem of how we manage to create SSBs if we cant pass them over from the main adult desktop

Hope I’ve explained that ok

34

In view of my last post do you still want me to move the Chromium .desktop file back ?

35

Yeah

36

Ok done that

37

Then edit
/usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop

and add the line:-

NoDisplay=true

directly underneath the first line … so the first 2 lines are:-

[Desktop Entry]
NoDisplay=true

SAVE the file

Now check that Chromium isn’t listed in the “Internet” sub-menu for Chloe … but is for you.

38

back in 5 … nicotine break.

39

Ok that looks good it’s listed in the main account but not in Chloes :slight_smile:

40

OK, now what’s the output from:

ls -a /home/chloe/.config/lxpanel/Peppermint/panels

and the contents of:

gedit /home/chloe/.config/lxpanel/Peppermint/panels/panel

[EDIT]

When you post the contents … can you put them in a code box … to preserve the formatting.
