Menu Items Gone Missing

[hduff]

I added a new user, logged out as me and logged in as the new user to set up a few things.

When I logged back in as myself, all my menu entries are nowhere to be seen.

All my file in my home directory are still owned by me, so I'm at a loss to understand what happened.

What desktop environment do you use? And are all menu items (supposedly you mean the start / application menu?) gone or only some? Could you maybe attach a screenshot?

I'm using LXDE.
Yes, the Start/Application menu. It was extensive before, and now only contains Run and Logout.

Hi,

I have several questions:
1) Did you install some new software before logging back in as yourself?
2) In the directory "$HOME/.cache/menus", do you have at least a file that is as recent as the directory itself?
3) Does the command "ps -ef" list a process like "/usr/libexec/menu-cache/menu-cached /run/user/<uid>/menu-cached-:0"?
4) Does the file "$HOME/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log" contain some information about a crash of "menu-cached"?

Best regards,
