nchancock Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I recently upgraded to KDE 3.4 with THAC's rpms. THAC RULES! Anyway, everything is working just fine except for the menus. After the initial package installation, the menus were totally blank. I read on another post that I should remove the ~/.local folder and then run update-menus -v After removing the folder and running update-menus -v, I get the following output. (The same for running the script as root.) [nate@NATE nate]$ update-menus[8990]: Update-menus is run by user. update-menus[8990]: urpmi is not locking urpmi status area, good. update-menus[8990]: Reading installed packages list... update-menus[8990]: Reading translation rules in /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus. update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /home/nate/.menu/. update-menus[8990]: 117 menu entries found (117 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /etc/menu/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (117 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/lib/menu/. update-menus[8990]: 761 menu entries found (878 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/share/menu/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (878 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/share/menu/default/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (878 total). update-menus[8990]: Running menu-methods in /home/nate/.menu-methods/. update-menus[8990]: Running menu-methods in /etc/menu-methods/. update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/menu update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/icewm update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/twm update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/gnome-mime-data-applications update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/gnome-mime-data-keys update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/xdg-menu-spec update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-apps Running 2 savekdemimetypes.pl/home/nate/.local/share/applications Running 2 restorekdemimetypes.pl/home/nate/.local/share/applications processing /home/nate/tmp/update-menu-501-kdemimetypes .... still working ** (process:9013): CRITICAL **: file eggdesktopentries.c: line 2223 (egg_desktop_entries_add_group): assertion `egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/xdg-desktop-entry-spec-dirs update-menus[8990]: Reading translation rules in /etc/menu-methods/simplified/translate_menus. update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /home/nate/.menu-simplified/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (0 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /etc/menu/simplified/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (0 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/lib/menu/simplified/. update-menus[8990]: 153 menu entries found (153 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /etc/menu/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (153 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/lib/menu/. update-menus[8990]: 884 menu entries found (1037 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/share/menu/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (1037 total). update-menus[8990]: Reading menu-entry files in /usr/share/menu/default/. update-menus[8990]: 0 menu entries found (1037 total). update-menus[8990]: Running menu-methods in /home/nate/.menu-simplified-methods/ . update-menus[8990]: Running menu-methods in /etc/menu-methods/simplified/. update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/simplified/simplified-xdg- menu-spec update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/simplified/simplified-xdg- desktop-entry-spec-apps Running 2 savekdemimetypes.pl/home/nate/.local/share/simplified/applications Running 2 restorekdemimetypes.pl/home/nate/.local/share/simplified/applications processing /home/nate/tmp/update-menu-501-kdemimetypes .... still working ** (process:9025): CRITICAL **: file eggdesktopentries.c: line 2223 (egg_desktop _entries_add_group): assertion `egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group _name) == NULL' failed update-menus[8990]: Running method: /etc/menu-methods/simplified/simplified-xdg- desktop-entry-spec-dirs Note the eggdesktopentries.c errors. I tried googling that, but the only site I could find was on MCNL and I don't speak that language :( Now the menus are mostly fixed except that I don't have the "Configure Your Desktop" or "Configure Your Computer" or several others. These icons show up if I run menudrake, but I can't get them to show up on my user menu. I can add SOME icons manually, but nothing to the System folder. Anyone know about the script error or how to get the menus working again? ANY help would be appreciated. :) BTW, the new version of amaroK doesn't include that cool wolf icon anymore, anyone know why?

devries Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Lot's of people have mentioned problems with the startmenu but I think all of these people are using the mandrake start menu, just like you. Try the kde startmenu for a change and see how that goes (open menudrake, click style and choose DE startmenu (don't remember the correct title).
