lost programs menu, help!

[rolandixor]

I lost my accesories and programs menu (gnome) for wine, and I really need it back

I had to remove it to clean my installation, but now I don't know how to get it back!

somewhat urgent.

Don't remove them if you really need them.

If you still have same ~/.wine with all the installed programs, try running this:

Code: Select all

find ~/.wine/drive_c/ -name "*.lnk" -print -exec wine winemenubuilder '{}' \;

Can I buy a bottle vitamin? You are rather helpful!
Thanks!

sadly I didn't work.
Told me permission denied on my ~/.local/share/applications/wine folder...

But I'll do some checks and try again

[rolandixor]

it keeps saying it can't make the .desktop files, permission denied.
Any ideas?

[rolandixor]

seems the files are there, but not in the menu. do I have to restart (gnome)?

Check/reset permissions and/or owner of those directories. You probably ran something as root in Wine and now you can't write to those dirs.

[rolandixor]

permissions intact, and I found the .menu files that gnome uses. Now I need to find out how to merge them (and remove the delete entries). Thanks to God, it not only teaches me a lesson, but a new trick!

THANKS VITAMIN.
I won't swallow you, so you're safe...

But thank God the most!
With no idea what I was doing, I fixed it!!!

had a song and dance this morning, but learned a lot in the process... now I know how it all works...
