Menu Hell


I have done something that has made most of the items on my menu disappear. i cannot get menudrake to load from anywhere but the console and i have tried saving the configuration to no avail. Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it.

Much appreciated

try menu update -v that is normally suggested on these boards.

load menudrake from the console as root
when it comes up... pick "sytem menu"
then save
all items should return to the menu

I tried a whole number of combinations and none worked so I reinstalled mandrake. Was actually a useful experience as now I have only the programs I want.

I learned two lessons from this.
1. Update regularly
2. Never Delete `~/.kde
