I installed Mozilla Mail from my Mandrake 9.2 CD's and for some reason, almost everything on my Start Applications Menu went away. The only things left are Networking, Recent Documents, Lock Screen, and Logout. I tried logging out and back in, restarting, uninstalling Mozilla Mail, logging in under Gnome instead of KDE.........nothing worked!
What the hell happened, and how do I get everything back? Is anyone familiar with this problem?
Mandrake 9.2 is very dangerous, besides being buggy. Make sure to get a newer kernel too from updates ftp. The default one, 2.2.10 (I think) likes to toast some hardwares, as LG CD-roms...
thanks mysterio. I've been really bad remembering numbers lately . I'm using Mandrake now as my main desktop (9.2 Discovery) and I'm very happy with it. But it was way more hassle to get it up and running then Slack :S. Slack works right out the box . But Mandy is pretty nice, I've to say it
I tried what was mentioned on the referred posting, namely "update-menus -v", and reinstalling the software in the upgrade mode. I STILL don't have my menus! Any other ideas?
