Hi, I found that this list can only be generated if the file /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu exists (it does not fall back to /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu). The pkg containing this file is lxmenu-data. I have submitted new pkgs: lxde-common-0.99.0-9.1.mga5 (it will be available in core/updates_testing section) and lxde-common-0.99.0-10.mga6 (for Cauldron) that contain lxmenu-data requirement. In my tests, with this requirement, the problem is over but can anyone confirm it, please? If all seems good, I will prepare an update advisory. Best regards, Nico.
Thank you! I just installed lxmenu-data, works fine! Adding a depency would solve the problem.
