Description Palm Pre 2012-03-05 03:26:31 CET

Description of problem: I've just installed Mageia 2 (Cauldron, x86) WindowMaker. After updating, Menu - Applications -> Applications is empty. It was reported in bug 1620 before. 

Now directory /etc/menu.d/ has only icewm inside so previous fix doesn't work.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: On a single box


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 2 beta1 Custom -> Other Graphical Desktops 
2. Update it
3. Check Menu - Applications -> Applications

Do you use old GNUStep directory?

Comment 4 Palm Pre 2012-03-17 20:03:45 CET

That wasn't updating. It was fresh Mageia 2 installation. 

I don't have access to the box I had a problem on. On different one (Mageia 1, x86_64) I have 

LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Not clear what I need to do about "old GNUStep directory"

This is the default HOME directory for Window Maker under ~.

I will try to reproduce it.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

I'm not sure this is the same item.
Anyway, 
installing from dual,
configuring online repositories
installing windowmaker
installing gnome-games

No games section in menu.

suggested before
# /etc/menu.d/WindowMaker
returns with a message
bash: /etc/menu.d/WindowMaker: No such file or directory

Comment 8 Kamil Rytarowski 2012-08-28 00:05:27 CEST

I can reproduce it, our menu has been stopped from working. I will have a look... in september, I am busy in real life.

No comments for ever. Obviously there is no need to keep open. Housekeeping wins.
