I've got some problems after new update!

That looks okay. And the content of ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE-pi/panels/panel ?

Does alacarte show the menu as expected? If so, try hiding everything and then re-enabling it again.

Otherwise, we're really out of ideas here.

Huh? I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean. What is alacarte? How can I tell if it's showing the menu. How do I hide every thing then re-enable it?

It's a menu editor.

An idea... Remove ~/.config/menus/lxde-pi-applications.menu if it exists.

An idea... Remove ~/.config/menus/lxde-pi-applications.menu if it exists.

I've been having the same problem, the recently added "piclone" and "geany" wouldn't show up in the menu. I tried the above and removed the "lxde-pi-applications.menu", then restarted lxpanel and it works!. Both "Geany" and "SD Card Copier" showed up in the menu list. Thank you very much, I've been playing around with that for days trying to get those two items into the menu.

I then re-ordered the menu list using the menu editor ( I put "Help", "Preferences" at the top rather than bottom since I seldom use them). That created a new "lxde-pi-applications.menu" file. I'll keep an eye on that and if the next thing I install doesn't show up I'll delete that file again to see if it's creating the problem adding new entries to the menu.

Do you have a backup of the lxde-pi-applications.menu file you deleted? I am a bit confused why that specific file is causing problems for a few people. We haven't touched anything related to it.

[JimmyN]

I sure do, I rarely delete or change a file without making a copy first.

Sounds like a bug in the menu editor, but it seems like Malman35 hasn't used it. Would be good to hear from him.

[Malman35]

An idea... Remove ~/.config/menus/lxde-pi-applications.menu if it exists.

I've been having the same problem, the recently added "piclone" and "geany" wouldn't show up in the menu. I tried the above and removed the "lxde-pi-applications.menu", then restarted lxpanel and it works!. Both "Geany" and "SD Card Copier" showed up in the menu list. Thank you very much, I've been playing around with that for days trying to get those two items into the menu.

I then re-ordered the menu list using the menu editor ( I put "Help", "Preferences" at the top rather than bottom since I seldom use them). That created a new "lxde-pi-applications.menu" file. I'll keep an eye on that and if the next thing I install doesn't show up I'll delete that file again to see if it's creating the problem adding new entries to the menu.

Alright! It worked for me too! Everything is back to normal now.
Thanks so much for your help ShiftPlusOne. You're awesome

I'm having the same problems after recent RPI update.
I used Geany without any problems few days ago, and yesterday I did rpi update and my geany stopped working.
I also can't install it, as '$sudo apt-get install geany' gives me this message:

Code: Select all

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 geany : Depends: geany-common (= 1.24.1+dfsg-1) but 1.27-1~wily is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any suggestions? Just to clarify, I don't have this file ~/.config/menus/lxde-pi-applications.menu


Thanks for help

[DirkS]

I'm having the same problems after recent RPI update.

I doubt this problem is directly related to the new kernel installed with rpi-update.
How much space is left on your SD card?
Use

Code: Select all

df -h

to check it.

[ShiftPlusOne]

Output of 'apt-cache policy' would help to. I'll leave it here for now, but in the future please start separate threads for new issues. This doesn't seem related to OP's problems at all.

@ShiftPlusOne sorry for writing in a wrong thread, I didn't want to create redundant topic.

But, I decided to install Geany from the sources, and after some fights with dependencies (as not every lib available in apt-get repository is new) I successfully got it working!
