1.20.2-1, can you check and see what menu Mint is using?

I know when 2.8.0 was released (and some time before) the Docs showed up
under Other.
The latest packages I built 1:2.8.0.39.g76260b4f7 had the Docs show up
under CNC.
It would appear the default Menu applet in MATE is the problematic one
for not showing submenus.
All of the above is relevant for MATE on Mint 19.x
I really can't speak for Debian.

So can you change the menu applet in Debian Mate to one that "just
works"?

I think this is a custom applet (which would seem to be not 100%
compliant with freedesktop.org). The same behaviour has been mentioned
of Mint Cinnamon.
Mint 19.3 with XFCE uses the Whisker menu plugin which is nice. The
only
issue you have to set a property so sub menus display as expected. As
I've said no one has mentioned it. Apart from this discussion.
As I use Mint on my Desktop & Laptop it makes sense in my case for my
CNC box to use Mint. I can update one machine, copy the updates in
/var/cache/apt/archives to the repo on my server and the other machines
can grab the updates from there, rather than downloading each update 3
or more times as the Desktop & Laptop have multiple copies of Mint. For
reasons that make only sense to me.

Interesting that Mint Mate and Debian Mate are not the same... I
officially give up on Debian 10 Mate and will see what else will work.
I'll download all the Debian 10 iso's and try each one. The only
reason I use Mate is because years ago the rest of the choices were
just plain ugly and hard to work with for me. Nothing I've used since
Ubuntu 10.04 has been as user friendly... IMHO.

Works without having to redirect
But not with a default Debian or Raspbian installation as they don't
have apt-add-repositiory.
Hence the convoluted version.
I did consider instructing the users to edit etc/apt/sources.list,
but
something that could be copy-pasted seemed easier.
echo deb http://linuxcnc.org/ buster base 2.8-rtpreempt | sudo
tee -a
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc.list
Works fine under Mint 19.3 with MATE desktop, so I wouldn't be so
quick
to blame MATE and call it broken.
OK, I am happy enough to blame JT instead :-)
