Don't know what or how you broke the menu.
But I got a suspicion it may be from

But to fix. You can re-add via Settings>Main Menu. This editing Has to be done by hand. For finding the launcher. I use the which command in terminal. which <name of app goes here>
Code:
harry@biker1:~$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
harry@biker1:~$ which gimp
/usr/bin/gimp
harry@biker1:~$ which urbanlightscape
/usr/local/bin/urbanlightscape
For finding my Icon. I use the locate command
locate <name of app goes here>
Quote:harry@biker1:~$ locate urbanlightscape
/home/harry/.urbanlightscape
/home/harry/icons/urbanlightscape.png
/usr/local/bin/urbanlightscape
/usr/local/share/urbanlightscape
/usr/local/share/urbanlightscape/urbanlightscape.htb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/urbanlightscape.conffiles
/var/lib/dpkg/info/urbanlightscape.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/urbanlightscape.md5sums
Anyways. That is how I add new applications to XFCE Menu myself like so

Install LL updates; install/remove software and the LL manual are not in the Main Menu anylonger. Is there anyway I can get to 'Install updates' through a web site? If I could run that it might fix it?
Hello Alex,
you can do updates using the CLI
Source
Code:
sudo apt-get update # Fetches the list of available updates
sudo apt-get upgrade # Strictly upgrades the current packages
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # Installs updates (new ones)
You can view the LL manual online
https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/
Refer to my previous post.
I gave pretty step by step there.
In the Launcher properties inside of main menu editor for install Updates.
Hit New Item.
Empty box for name type in: Install Updates
Empty box for Command type in:
Code:
x-terminal-emulator --geometry=95x25 -t "Linux Lite Updates" -e /usr/scripts/updates
Empty Box for Comment type in: Get the latest updates for your computer
Hit OK and save it.
Hit New Item again.

Problem solved, thank you all especially Bitsnpc's, Rokytnji's and Scott.
Quote:Sorry I probably was not really clear: none of those are in the main menu any longer:
The instructions in the previous posts explain how to recreate them again.
Specifically, the instructions are in reply #4 by Rokytnji and pictures are in reply #5 by Scott(0).
Does that make sense?
Happy to hear you got it fixed!

lol eventually it did (Especially after the pics)...I know that I am struggling with Linux (much too long on stupid windows I reckon) and I was a bit better 30 years ago lol.
But I am going to keep at it : sudo alex get it done!
