[newbie] left start menu (another problem)

2003-10-31 Thread Mukul Sabharwal
Hi,

also despite the fact that out of the hundreds of item that show up,
only few are there.

Even fewer point to as valid links, most of them don't do anything. It
happens in GNOME, and everything else

Even with other users.

You can either:

run the command (as super user)

update-menus -v

or wait until 4:00 AM when cron runs or install anacron if your machine isn't 
always on.

Just for grins and giggles you could also run the following compound command 
as super user:

rpm rebuilddb  updatedb  update-menus -n -v  ldconfig

to do everything all sequentially that likely needs to be done after a large 
update.

Have fun!
