Menu disappeared

Ephracis · 07-10-2005, 05:57 AM

I have recently installed Mandrake 10.1 and now suddenly I saw that the icons in the menu disappeared. So I opened up "Mandrakelinux Menu Editor" (choosed System Menu, not root menu), there everything seemed fine. So I updated the menu and now everything above "Run Application" is gone. But the menu editor shows everything as it is supposed to look like. What's the problem?

I ran into that once, I just used the menu editor and saved BOTH the system and the root menu. All menu items worked normally after that. BTW, the distro was 9.1 rather than the 10.1 you're using, but the same solution might work.

Humm, I don't know if you resolved this issue already, but I had the same problem once.
And to save the menu alone didn't worked.
After some experimentation I found that to recover the menu all I had to do is to create a new entry (no matter what), in order to make a real change in the menu.
If menudrake rebuild succesfully your menu you can delete that entry again.
Just make menudrake something to change.

Good luck!

It suddenly reappeard. I do not know why, but I know that it did. I did not have time to check either of your solutions. :/

Thanks anyway! I will check it if the menu disappears again. :P
