Updating Mandriva Menus

Posted on July 26, 2006 by Jeffery

I have often found that after installing a package on mandriva, the application does not seem to appear in the menu listing. Here is a quick fix to make the application link appear in the menu. Execute the following on the shell:

update-menus -vv

The double “vv” option is just to show the verbose output. Obviously this will only take affect if the actuall application had been setup (during packaging) to be run from the menu system.
