Application menu and bookmarks are gone!
 

I installed Midori on my n800, running Diablo, andran it out of space. I noticed the apps menu had gone blank, but bookmarks were still good. I removed a few apps, freeing up 40mb of space. the apps menu was still blank, so rebooted. now all my bookmarks are gone too!
HELP!!!!!!!
I dont think midori has anything to do with this. It is just what ran me out of space. I am sure it is Maemo having a temper tantrum about it.

Re: Application menu and bookmarks are gone!
 

When I give this command in a terminal, cp /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu /home/user/.osso/menus/ ; update-desktop-database, I get "No directories in update-desktop-database search path could be processed and updated" as a response.


I have 38mb free on a 645mb partition on the internal sd card that I am booting from.

Also, I still find nothing for my bookmark issue.

For others with this problem,since the apps menu is blank, I had to add xterm to my personal launcher menu on the desktop. Without that installed, how would someone get to a terminal window in this situation?

Thanks

Today the same happened to me. Debernardis' link was useful to me. Do not forget to run that command as root.

yup, ran as root, and no joy. Where do I go from here?

Re: Application menu and bookmarks are gone!
 

1) Do you have an applications.menu file in /etc/xdg/menus/ ? If you lack it, the problem might be here.

2) update-desktop-database seems to accept a directory as an argument. I suspect that by default it's /usr/share/applications.
It should have a number of folders there, including "hildon", "hildon-control-panel", "hildon-home", "hildon-navigator", "hildon-status-bar" plus some .desktop file - or is it empty because of your full filesystem problem? In this case I think your setup is kaputt and you better flash the thing new - unless you have a backup available.

Hope that helps.
