From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Description of problem: All of my KDE applnks are gone after upgrading from FC1 to FC2. My menus are now empty, and when I look at .kde, there is no sign of the links there either. I have deleted the /tmp/links that have caused problems in the past. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC 2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade from FC1 to FC2 2.try to start KDE 3. no apps in menu, nothing in .kde directory. Additional info: I can send you my .kde or install log if this helps
you have restart your KDE after you have upgraded to FC2.
I did that. Did you even read what I did? This upgrade smoked all of the links from the apps to the menu. It did not rebuild them when I tried to restart.
yes, i did. The KDE-3.2.x in FC2 now supports the vfolder instead workaround in FC1. That means that all desktop files in /var/lib/menu/kde are obsoletes. with KDE-3.2.x, the desktop files will be in /usr/share/applications/. does this problem still showup if you logins with a new user?
Yes. One small point of interest is that this machine has been upgraded several times, from RH 7 or so. Could existing files have crufted it up?
