Wine menu dont show in application menu

[Taz2781]

Wine was on my Ubuntu 9.04 and I uninstalled. As the icons were not deleted from the Applications menu, I manually delete them.

The problem comes now:

I've reinstalled Wine, and now that I dont see icon of Wine in the Applications menu. Then I went to the menu editor and I have to Revert button, but nothing ...

Wine is "fine" because I've installed some applications on it.

I followed the instructions of the faq and see what the file says:

6.29. I deleted my Wine menu, and now I can't get it back.

Rather than actually delete anything, menu editors on Linux simply mark menus as "Deleted" so that they don't show up in the menu. This information is stored in ~/.config/menus/applications.menu. Edit ~/.config/menus/applications.menu, and you should find a section near the end that looks similar to this:

Code: Select all

        <Menu>
                <Name>wine-wine</Name>
                <Deleted/>
        </Menu>

or perhaps this:

Code: Select all

        <Menu>
                <Name>wine-wine</Name>
                <Menu>
                        <Name>wine-Programs</Name>
                        <Menu>
                                <Name>wine-Programs-AutoHotkey</Name>
                                <DirectoryDir>/home/user/.local/share/desktop-directories</DirectoryDir>
                        </Menu>
                </Menu>
                <Deleted/>
        </Menu>

Remove the <Deleted/> line and your Wine menu will reappear.

This is what that command show to me:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE Menu
  PUBLIC '-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN'
  'http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd'>
<Menu>
	<Name>Applications</Name>
	<MergeFile type="parent">/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu</MergeFile>
</Menu>

I hope someone can find the solution

Thank you

[Wine] Wine menu dont show in application menu

Wine was on my Ubuntu 9.04 and I uninstalled. As the icons were not deleted from the Applications menu, I manually delete them.

Read the FAQs. There is a procedure that you should follow to reinstall the icons as well.
