I found a solution which worked for me and I hope it will help others too. The issue seems to be linked to old configuration files of Feisty the programs involved are alacarte and ubuntustudio 0.5
1. open the terminal during a Gnome session ( you can create if needed a new launcher at the upper taskbar settings are: Type: Aplication Name: Terminal command: gnome-terminal9 2. Enter following code: sudo apt-get remove --purge alacarte* ubuntustudio-menu* && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean hit enter and confirm the question with Y 3. Update your Database now Code: sudo updatedb 4. search for remainig files Code: locate alacarte 5.remove all files alcarte Code: sudo rm -R /path/alacarte and for single files sudo rm /path/alacarte Update your Database now and search just to be sure for alacarte again if there are files delete them 6. Do the same for ubuntustudio-menu Code: locate ubuntustudio-menu 7. remove all file of ubuntustudio-menu code: Code: sudo rm -R /path/ubuntustudio-menu and for single files sudo rm /path/ubuntustudio-menu Update your Database now and search just to be sure for ubuntustudio- menu again if there are files delete them 8. Now go to home folder and enable the view for hidden files (ctrl +h) Look for folder named: .config, open this folder and open the folder menu I have deleted here everything except the folder called: applications- merged ( think this one is too important) 9. Install now Alacarte via Synaptic ( Synaptic launcher can be found at following location: /usr/share/applications) 10. Reboot your System and the Menu should be normally fine again. 11. Install now again ubuntustudio-menu 0.5 again and everything is will be normally fine. Resume: Old configuration files of Feisty can cause a lot of trouble while testing Gutsy. This Guide is also very useful for all other which having currently trouble with Comiz and Compiz Fusion. The files in question here are Comiz, Beryl & Emerald (just replace the file name which is mentioned at the code) especially the hidden config files of Comiz.(same location as desribed at topic 8). Result: Smooth and stable Desktop with all features and a complete menu. -- ubuntustudio-menu 0.5 main menu shows only Places and System other entries of the menu are not available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
