Don't know what or how you broke the menu.

But I got a suspicion it may be from https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index.php?topic=1016.msg6130;topicseen#msg6130

But to fix. You can re-add via Settings>Main Menu. This editing Has to be done by hand. For finding the launcher. I use the which command in terminal. which <name of app goes here>

Code:
harry@biker1:~$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
harry@biker1:~$ which gimp
/usr/bin/gimp
harry@biker1:~$ which urbanlightscape
/usr/local/bin/urbanlightscape


For finding my Icon. I use the locate command
locate <name of app goes here>

Quote:harry@biker1:~$ locate urbanlightscape
/home/harry/.urbanlightscape
/home/harry/icons/urbanlightscape.png
/usr/local/bin/urbanlightscape
/usr/local/share/urbanlightscape
/usr/local/share/urbanlightscape/urbanlightscape.htb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/urbanlightscape.conffiles
/var/lib/dpkg/info/urbanlightscape.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/urbanlightscape.md5sums

Anyways. That is how I add new applications to XFCE Menu myself like so

Install LL updates; install/remove software and the LL manual are not in the Main Menu anylonger. Is there anyway I can get to 'Install updates' through a web site? If I could run that it might fix it?





Re: My Menu has changed? - bitsnpcs - 10-12-2014

Hello Alex,

you can do updates using the CLI
Source

Code:
sudo apt-get update    # Fetches the list of available updates
sudo apt-get upgrade    # Strictly upgrades the current packages
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade    # Installs updates (new ones)

You can view the LL manual online https://www.freecinema2022.gq/manual/

Re: My Menu has changed? - rokytnji - 10-12-2014

Refer to my previous post.
I gave pretty step by step there.
In the Launcher properties inside of main menu editor for install Updates.
Hit New Item.
Empty box for name type in: Install Updates
Empty box for Command type in:
Code:
x-terminal-emulator --geometry=95x25 -t "Linux Lite Updates" -e /usr/scripts/updates
Empty Box for Comment type in: Get the latest updates for your computer

Hit OK and save it.

Hit New Item again.
Name= Help Manual
Command =
Code:
xdg-open /usr/share/doc/litemanual/index.html
Comment = The Linux Lite Help & Support Manual

Hit Ok to save it.

Hit New Item again
Name= Install/Remove Software
Command =
Code:
synaptic-pkexec
Comment = Install, remove and upgrade software packages

Click OK to save it.

The instructions in the previous posts explain how to recreate them again.

Specifically, the instructions are in reply #4 by Rokytnji and pictures are in reply #5 by Scott(0).

Does that make sense?

Re: My Menu has changed? - Scott(0) - 10-12-2014

Happy to hear you got it fixed!

lol eventually it did (Especially after the pics)...I know that I am struggling  with Linux (much too long on stupid windows I reckon) and I was a bit better 30 years ago lol.

But I am going to keep at it : sudo alex get it done!
