Title: Menu muckup.
Post by: uxli on March 15, 2014, 12:27:51 AM
I was making some changes in Main Menu and then didn't like what I had done so pushed the Revert button at the bottom right of that menu. However it did not revert to what was present in Menu (the button at left of panel) as in the original install, but to a lot of entries that where not there at install time. Is there a way to revert to the original installed Menu?

And in particular - so that I can install updates - get the Updates button back in that menu? I cannot find it.

I'm afraid pressing revert has messed up your Menu beyond repair. This is because the Menu we provide is heavily modified.

If you want to live with it, you can open a terminal each time and do:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
to get updates, or you can reinstall and start anew.

Thanks for that command Valtam. I think I'll carry on with this install for a spell using that command each day and regard this as my 'install for experimenting' and see how I get on. :)

Hmm, that could of been me as I'm about to try to correct some application install errors. Is the Menu structured stored somewhere so I can back it up before messing around with it?
