This morning I started my computer only to find that about 20% of my applications had disappeared from the Applications menus. When I went to search for them, the file search program was among the missing. I looked for the timekeeping program I had been using by running mlocate with the argument "time". I received over 2,000 hits, and I won't live long enough to examine each one.
I would like to know how it happened, what to do about it, and how to prevent it in the future. I'm afraid this is a show-stopper and will put an end to my love affair with GNU/Linux. A year ago I abandoned DOS/Windows, with which I had system-level involvement for 40 years, and moved to GNU/Linux. I am enjoying myself but the problems have been legion and any more like this, I regret to say, will drive back into the arms of the convicted monopolist of Redmond. Paul -- Paul A. Crable.
