OK.... I was installing packages from my bootable cd's in KDE 3.1 in mandrakes "install software from your Cd's" it was pretty cool, got some new software. Then when I opened the K start menu in the bottom left corner, all the options icons look like directory folders, and about half of my programs are missing!!!!!!!! I dont know whats going on. For example, in Networking> there used to be like 5 browsers to choose from, now only 1. From Media> there were about 4 apps, now only 1, instead of 4 games, there are now 2. Etc. PLease help me!

Did you try doing update-menus -v as root? That may help, I'm not sure though.

Heck, I would try but i cant even get into konsole. Konsole is missing in the programs list also!

Now that is tough. I don't know, but can you do update-menus from outside X? Try going to the console by using alt+control+f1 and try issueing the command from there. I'm not sure if it wil work, but you can give it a try.

*bump* really dont know what to do.

Hi,

Have you tried:

Right-click on K menu, choose 'edit menu', then on the window that appears, choose 'menu style' and then 'all applications' then 'ok' and 'save'

?

I've had a similiar problem and it worked ;-)

Take care,
Alex

Thanks alxD, it worked!
