osiris679 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I went to the package installer program to install xmss, and everything goes well until I am done installing. I go to the applications menu to find most of my programs missing! When I try to open /home or any directory, it can't find Konqueror. I was wondering if there was a way to easily get my apps back, or have mandrake recongnize them agian. Is this normal? It is probably something obvious, isn't it? Oh and a side note, is there any way to have my wheel on my mouse scroll down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Check here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=8481 and see if that helps you with your apps, that's really strange, though. You could also try to open a console, su to root and type urpmi konqueror to make sure that it didn't accidentally get uninstalled when you installed xmms.

scoopy Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Welcome aboard, Sounds like you just installed 9.2 and are running KDE. Try this in konsole/ terminal: update-menus -v Install those updates and that should keep that from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalee Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Hi, I too get the "disappearing menu" while installing a program sometimes. While it does come back if I wait for a while, if I'm in a hurry logging out and back in brings it back. Though Scoopy's CLI method is one I will definatly try!! Thanks Scoopy! dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
