Broken menu in 2007

jburford · 11-22-2006, 02:11 AM

Umm... I have just done something really dumb.

I installed 2007PP and then restored by user data from 2006...

Now the menus don't work, update-menus fails, menudrake no longer exists in 2007 (found this by trying, then googling), the menu-style tool doesn't help.

Any ideas on how to regenerate a Mandriva menu in 2007?

Check if you have any menu related entries in ~/.config and ~/.local, delete them. Also check for any ~/.urpmi* files and delete those as well, then logout and back in again.

Many thanks for the helpful reply.

I didn't get to try it, as I found that the main problem was that the restore I was using was corrupt. I was not very happy.

thanks again

Jim
