General Support - Debian menu hosed after upgrade Joe Soap - 16.06.2006, 09:05 Uhr Titel: Debian menu hosed after upgrade
Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded a fairly large number of packages (including the xorg upgr) via synaptic and somewhere along the line my Debian menu got hosed. All I have left is Debian -> Games -> Puzzles -> Ksudoku (kinda ironic :).
Can ynbody tell me how to recover or rebuild my Debian menu?
Thanking you kindly
Joe

what i can tell you is: never use synaptic for upgrades. its utter crap.
use apt.

I usually use update-menus as root and user. Don't know if it works for kde though as I'm on xfce4 and fluxbox most times.

devil, after my experiences with xorg, I fully agree with you. Maybe I'll see the light one of these days
stryder, thanks for the pointer. I'll give it a shot.
Cheers
Joe

stryder,
Tried update-menus but it didn't work... Any other ideas? Anybody?
Cheers

I've heard the menu gets regenerated when you install some debian program. Maybe try "apt-get install xbill" or whatever

Nope, didn't work Joe Soap - 19.06.2006, 17:08 Uhr Titel: RE: Debian menu hosed after upgrade
Spontaneous regeneration...
The Debian menus are back. Don't know how, don't know why. Grateful nonetheless
