Thanks Erich, that's what I didn't know, evereyday something to learn. I had to downgrade the package first with sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-menu=0.49
This indeed asked me to overwrite the modified file and I got the overpopulated menu back. Upgrading the package with sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-menu=0.50~20.10.1 solved the issue with the overpopulated menu. Just perfect. By the way, I didn't like the subfolders in the "Games"-folder since there are not many games installed and I'm not planning to do so. I wrote a games.menu file which can be placed in /etx/xdg/menus/applications-merged or in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged . Here it is: <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd"> <Menu> <Name>Applications</Name> <Menu> <Name>Games</Name> <Directory>kf5-games.directory</Directory> <Menu> <Name>Arcade</Name> <Directory>ubuntustudio-noshow.directory</Directory> </Menu> <Menu> <Name>Board</Name> <Directory>ubuntustudio-noshow.directory</Directory> </Menu> <Menu> <Name>Card</Name> <Directory>ubuntustudio-noshow.directory</Directory> </Menu> <Menu> <Name>Kidsgames</Name> <Directory>ubuntustudio-noshow.directory</Directory> </Menu> <Menu> <Name>TacticStrategy</Name> <Directory>ubuntustudio-noshow.directory</Directory> </Menu> <Menu> <Name>Logic</Name> <Directory>ubuntustudio-noshow.directory</Directory> </Menu> <Include> <Category>Game</Category> </Include> </Menu> </Menu> Feel free to use it or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905061 Title: [SRU] Media Playback menu is overpopulated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-menu/+bug/1905061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
