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. 1) ls -al .config/menus/ 2) Look at the most recent applications.menu.undo-x 3) cp .config/menus/applications.menu applications.menu.backup (this will just back up the "borked" menu file to your home directory, just in case 4) cp .config/menus/applications.menu.undo-x .config/menus/applications.menu (copies the newest applications.menu.undo-x over to be your default menu) It should work after that, but that's the solution I found. -- 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
