Description Boris Goldowsky 2003-10-19 14:09:03 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031009

Description of problem:
Upgraded from Redhat 9 + Garnome 0.27.1 to Fedora Core 0.95 via ISOs.
After upgrade & starting Gnome, Applications menu was completely empty.

Eventually I hit upon a workaround: I moved the existing .gnome2/vfolders
directory away to a different place and restarted gnome-panel.  This gave me the
default Applications menu back, though of course I have lost the customizations
I had done to the menu contents.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-panel-2.4.0-3

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Can't truly reproduce the conditions before the upgrade, but this did happen to
more than one user account on the system.

I've experienced this too. Never used Ximian.

Under Red Hat 9 I had replaced my default-modules.conf with the
with-menu-editing version. On upgrading to Fedora Core 1, all the
applications in my Gnome Menu had disappeared!

I did get them back by replacing the default-modules.conf installed by
the Fedora installer with my previous working copy (backup saved by
the Fedora installer).

This probably has something to do with a change what happened with the
vfolder/menu gnome-vfs module between RH9 and FC1. Moving to gnome-vfs.

Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-14 12:54:32 UTC

We no longer use vfolders or gnome-vfs1.
