epretorious Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 (edited) Hello, All: I've finally installed and successfully updted Mandrakelinux 9.2. (If ever there was an example of why users should read the errata this is it!!!) After updating the installed packages, however, my K-Menu is half-empty: e.g., MCC is gone, Konsole is gone, and Office is gone. I've installed and updated twice and this has happened both times. I've perused the KDE Help Center and learned about 'kappfinder' but that only recovered Office and a few miscellaneous items. What the @#$@! happened? <-- Funny looking little guy that more-or-less illustrates my frustration but I'm not really that mad. How can I restore all of the K-Menu icons (that were there before)?

epretorious Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Many thanks, bvc! Is this a known-issue with 9.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epretorious Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 One more question if I may: Where'd KMail go? I can't find it anywhere. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 kmail is included in "kontact" since kde3.2, but you can still access it via konsole, typing "kmail". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epretorious Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 (edited) kmail is included in "kontact" since kde3.2, but you can still access it via konsole, typing "kmail". Hm. I found the icons for Kontact and KMail using menudrake but only the icon for Kontact appears after saving. (In fact - the entire Mail folder is gone after using menudrake!) There seems to be some discrepancies between menudrake and the K-Menu. Is that normal? Edited July 18, 2004 by epretorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Menudrake had a serious bug in 9.x. I haven't noticed it since 10.0 came out, but it might still be there. Anyway, there is an FAQ on restoring a lost menu in our FAQ forum that you might want to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
