When I encountered this situation, Apport reports this as a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947119, a bug that I can't find.
My ~/.local is owned by the correct user. However, ~/.config/menus is not, that is root owned. The only entry in ~/.config/menus/ is a directory "applications-merged". The ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/ directory contains a single (zero-byte) file (also owned by root): xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu. After chown -R on ~/.config/ the Main Menu application starts fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95840 Title: Edit Menus closes Main Menu unexpectedly Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: alacarte When right clicking and choosing 'Edit Menus', the 'Main Menu' windows comes up. 2 seconds later, it crashed.
