Makoto - you have a different problem. Your problem is that Alacarte
appears to have corrupted your users local applications.menu file. The
problem in this bug report is that some package appears to have
corrupted the system-wide applications.menu file, which is a completely
different issue. Alacar
Thanks Chris,
I understand and agree with your assessment, and can see that in the "normal
scheme of things" there would be a .old file.
But evidently "something" chose to modify it itself and chose not to make a
backup, and there's no obvious way to insulate against that.
(unless we made these
I can confirm this bug. It happened to me for about 45 minutes, while I
scrambled for a meaningful solution.
I don't know many details, but I *believe* that I did use Alacarte to
edit my menus. After it's all said and done, POOF, no more
Applications.
Anyway, here's the steps I took to solve it
Your applications.menu file (which describes the structure of your menu)
belongs to the package gnome-menus. If gnome-menus is updated and the
new applications.menu is different to your old one, then Apt will ask
you if you want to install the package maintainers version, or keep your

that sounds like a bug, then? (the extra ...
I realise this is very hard to track down... what I was thinking might
be helpful, though, are things which would mitigate the disaster if it
happens again... e.g. have the system make a backup of key files like
applications.menu before it makes a chan
Your /etc/xdg/applications.menu has an extra '' at the end, which is
probably why it doesn't work. This is backed up by the error you got when
running alacarte:
'** (alacarte:3340): WARNING **: Error loading menu layout from
"/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu": Error on line 174 char 8: Element '
that was what cause the alacarte error I listed above.
Copying in an applications.menu from a friend (also on Hardy) didn't
help either (applications menu was still empty). This did start in
alacarte, but it just had templates for the main folders - nothing in
them, so I'd have had to repopulate t
