#176786 — LXDE lost menus

Hi all,

it looks like there is a bug in famous LXDE. After an update all menus are 
gone. There is already filed a bugreport to kali-linux, but I want to mention 
it for debian, too.

If LXDE users did not not notice it, then it is because of cached files. If you 
move ~/.cache/* away, then the menus are not rebuild again.

WARNING: For testing backup the cached files, so you can return them back, 
otherwise it will brick your LXDE.

Do the LXDE developers know of this? Shall we file another bugreport to the 
LXDE maintainers?

Best regards

Hans

Update from which version to which version? What version of LXDE shows
this bug? Can you provide a link to the kali-linux bug report?

I do not see anything like this reported at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=lxde;dist=unstable .
So it is possible that the maintainers are not aware of this.

As to whether the bug has to be reported in Debian, the answers is
that it depends. If the bug exists in the version that is carried by
Debian, then it makes sense to report it. Also, check if the upstream
(i.e authors of lxde) are aware of this and if it is fixed in future
versions.

hope that helps

Yes, they are.

Search for a bugreport for libfm-extra4.

The first thing to establish is does this bug actually exist in Debian.
That doesn't mean knowing that it is present in an upstream version that
Debian carries, it means someone has to verify the bug in person with the
installed package.

Do you mean to suggest that you know that this bug is confirmed to exist
in Debian and has already been reported?

Yes, that is. See here:

 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851748

You can test it this way:

1. Move ~/.config/menus* somewhere
2. Start LXDE, no more menus.
3. Install libfm-extra4-1.2.3-1 and start LXDE again, menus are newly created.
4. Verify

The last working version is 1.2.4-1 from kali.


If it is correct, what Andriy told and there were no code changes, then I 
suggest, just to use the 1.2.4-1 version and create a package, with a version 
higher than 1.2.5-1. 

I am just building a live file system of kali linux (LXDE) by putting a self 
rebuild 1.2.5-2-version into live-build-config/config/packages-chroot/ and hope, 
this will be overwrite the one from the repo.

If it works (what I will see in a few hours), I will report.

Happy hacking

Hans

Great! (that it's reported, that is. It's a shame the bug exists).

And coincidentally I have just learned about the existence of "menu-cache-gen",
which probably explains the unrelated LXDE bug I hit/reported yesterday:

	lxpanel: stale menu entries when desktop files modified
	https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=852316
