Re: Mintmenu is dead
try this.
extract to your desktop, and then open a terminal. type
That's a copy of an unedited mintMenu, just in case yours was edited. Tell us how that works. 
extract to your desktop, and then open a terminal. type
Code: Select all
cd /home/yourname/Desktop/mint
sudo cp * /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu
Re: Mintmenu is dead
You can also just add the standard GNOME menu to the panel and add Menu Bar (as a temporary solution).
As for the issue at hand, there seem to be some configuration files hanging on after install, try to completely remove it in Synaptic, "Mark for complete removal" and reinstall. Complete removal *should* remove all configuration files as well..

It's obviously a permission problem. I would go and check the permissions of that particular directory.OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/michael/.local/share/applications/wine'

Re: Mintmenu is dead
Well, that confuses me a bit. Why would mintMenu be reliant on Wine at all? I have used it without Wine, and plan on doing so with Elyssa. Is there any possible reason for this?

Re: Mintmenu is dead
It was mintmenu that threw the error, which means that the "wine folder" was somehow "started" from mintMenu - one would expect a wine program or wine itself to be started from the menu - that's why mintMenu collapsed in this case - why that folder changed - if it did - is another story

Re: Mintmenu is dead (SOLVED)
I'm having the EXACT same problem. Did anybody ever figure out what was causing this?madmanmick wrote:Basically, when I try to start a program from the GNOME menu or mintmenu that requires administrator privileges (e.g. Synaptic, and any administration or preference applications), a little tray icon saying "starting administrative process" pops up, and then disappears. I'm pretty sure its the window that asks for your password to allow a program to run - the problem is that it doesn't actually show the window on my screen, and disappears after 5 seconds - hence the only way i can start half of the programs is by using Terminal with sudo.
