Greetings
everyone!
I've been working diligently these past few weeks to fix all
of the bugs that popped up in MenuLibre after Trusty was
released. I've been testing my fixes out in a few virtual
machines and I think the program is release-ready now. I'm
reaching out to all of you for a bit of variety in the tests.
So, if you'd like to help out, here's what I would like you to
do.
Just to avoid any variation with other libraries, please
perform this test on an up-to-date trusty (14.04) installation.
First, backup your files. If you don't do this, you will
lose your custom launchers and any launchers installed locally.
You'll want to make a backup of the following directories to
preserve your current menu layout:
~/.config/menus
~/.local/share/applications
~/.local/share/desktop-directories
Second, remove your current menu structure. There were some
issues in the previous release that led to corrupt menus... we
want to clean that up.
rm ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
rm ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/user*.menu
rm ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/*.directory
rm ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
Next, install the latest MenuLibre daily from the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:menulibre-dev/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install menulibre
Finally, start menulibre and get to editing.
