Hi. Would you mind to confirm if matemenu-vanilla-layout or matemenu-mageia-layout packages installed? This should be something that post install script fails...
Source RPM: mate-panel-1.14.0-1.mga6 => mate-menus-1.14.0-2.mga6
Yes, matemenu-mageia-layout-1.14.0-2 is installed, also lib64mate-menu2 and mate-menus, all same release number.
This bug has cured itself. I recently reinstalled Cauldron twice. Cal the original and the two reinstalls Nos 1,2,3. No. 1: bug was present. No. 2: bug still present, so I filed this report. No. 3: Reinstalled last night because the video bug gave me no desktop. I was offered the choice of matemenu-mageia or matemenu-vanilla. I chose matemenu-mageia. Bug has gone.
Now the bug is back. There was a new matemenu-mageia-layout waiting. I installed that. I rebooted, and the menu worked. Then a second package was in the Updates. I installed that and shut down. On next bootup, the situation was back where I started. I prefer Xfce, but MATE is easier on resources.
Interesting. Do you hava /etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu symlink in place? There is some kind of error in update-alternatives usage. If that symlink is not in place, then would you mind to run as root: update-alternatives --auto matemenu
/etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu is present but is an ordinary file, not a symlink. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3891 Oct 16 2014 mate-applications.menu I was in MATE, so I ran sudo update-alternatives --auto matemenu The menu came good immediately. (It may not be your interest, but all the other files similar to mate-applications.menu are ordinary files, too, but Xfce isn't there at all, and it doesn't have this problem.)
Stranger still! What I did in Comment 6 was in Mga 5 - Official, and it doesn't display the problem. I subsequently ran sudo update-alternatives --auto matemenu in Cauldron and confirmed that it was the cure. Is it only me?
That would be an upgrade issue for mate-menus package. I' ll check it. Our cauldron mate-menus package now provide two selective applications menu layout with their respective packages: matemenu-mageia and matemenu-vanilla. They are managed by update-alternatives but obviously i broke upgrading mechanism. Please be patient until i get some spare time to work on this and get it fixed.
OK. I have the Mageia version installed.
This probably isn't the right place, but updates a few minutes ago gave me a conflict between desktop-common-data and the current mate-panel < 1.14.0-2. Shouldn't I already have mate-panel = 1.14.0-2? Anyway, the conflict will no doubt resolve itself next time.

I think this issue is solved with latest desktop-common-data update.If it is fixed for you please close the bug report. Thanks.
Not fixed for me.
(In reply to psyca from comment #12) > Not fixed for me. Is it a fresh install or an upgrade? Do you applied what i suggested in comment#5? Result?
Sorry. Your right. I didnt used the command from your comment#5 Works here.
Sorry, I have been away for a while. Is it OK now to close the report?
CC'ing all packagers collectively because tarakbumba, the assignee, will be MIA for ± 11 weeks.

I think this can be closed as fixed, or? (Works for me). Whats your result @ Doug Laidlaw?
It has certainly gone away. In view of Comment 11, I will close it as fixed.
