Your /etc/xdg/applications.menu has an extra '</Menu>' 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 'Menu' was closed, no element is currently open'
Could you please attach your /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/term.log? To be honest, it is going to be very difficult to work out what happened to your menu configuration. FYI, if you need to restore the menu configuration, then /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu is part of the 'gnome-menus' package -- Applications menu content got erased https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
