LXDE menu gone

Well i just noticed that my "start" menu in LXDE is gone. Well not really gone but it just shows run and logout. It might have anything to do with the update i just executed. Unfortunatly i cleared my cache right after the update (stupid i know realise). Anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?

Re: LXDE menu gone

kill your lxpanel and it will recreate the things for you. This script will help you http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel#Fix_emp … in_LXPanel. Also some informations are shared in lxde forum.

Re: LXDE menu gone

I have similar issue every now and then.
I must say I am very disappointed with lxde: start menu disappears, lxpanel flickers and becomes unusable, icons and appearance themes appear 3 times in listbox (this one is no big deal, though), etc.
I wonder if openbox alone wouldn't be a better solution...

Move .config to e.g. .config_backup, maybe also delete .cache again and restart LXDE

LXDE is very broken these days, the menu disappears, the panel starts blinking, the file manager makes problems for some ...

I just deleted /home/user/.cache/menus/* and now it's working again!
