I was trying to make another 'start applications' pop up menu and managed to delete all of the sub menus from the main menu.
Is there a way to fix this, maybe replace a file somewhere.
Thank you.
In recent versions of KDE, any customisations you make to your menu are stored in $HOME/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu. If you rename or delete this file, you should end up back with the default system settings for your Kmenu
:)
I have tried that. As root I copied the applications-kmenuedit.menu from the roots .config/menus into the users dir. after chmod and chown'ing it to the user I would view the file and it was the bad one.
Currently the .config/menus folder is empty and no default menu still.
In should contain a sub-directory: "applications-merged" and a file: "applications-kmenuedit.menu". I don't know if it will work without that file. A blank file would be:
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";>
<Menu>
</Menu>------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
If you screwed with the global menu you are going to have to reinstall it in: /etc/xdg:
menus/ |-- applications-merged/ | |-- applications-kmenuedit.menu | |-- kde-essential.menu | `-- kde-multimedia-music.menu |-- applications.menu |-- kde-information.menu |-- kde-screensavers.menu `-- kde-settings.menu
You might not have all of these, but I think that this is the standard setup. I presume that KDEBase installs this, but I'm not sure.
