Hi,
After a failed upgrade from Mageia 7 (remember to turn off screen locking when upgrading), I installed a fresh version 8 on the root partition. I recreated my user at install and it read my existing home dir. When I logged in, all my open windows from my last Mageia 7 KDE session came up like it there was no change.
However, any new application I install does not appear on the KDE application menu, even KDE apps. I think there is some permission issue here somewhere but I checked .kde and I owned and had write permission to all the sub dirs. Since installation is done by root, it shouldn't have problems updating the common KDE application menu. Is there something from version 7 in my home dir that is blocking the updates or not reading the common KDE application menu correctly?
Any help is much appreciated. For now I'm down to launching apps from the prompt.
Thanks
