[ubuntu-studio-users] Menu Missing Entire Categories

[wmichaelb at fuse.net]

Captain-Tux: alacarte worked and solved the problem. I thought alacarte was for MATE only and didn't realize that it was a 
more general GTK application, so I learned that as well. Thank you very, very much!

Hi, I just installed US 16.10? (Can't tell; sysinfo crashes immediately if I click on system, and Ampare only shows kernel version 3.13.0-36-lowlatency). Whisker menu only shows: 

Favorites 
Recently Used 
All 
Accessories 
Education 
Games 
Internet 
Media Playback 
Office 
System 
Ubuntu Studio Information 

If I right-click on the menu icon and open "Edit Applications", I also see: 

Audio Production 
Graphic Design 
Video Production 
Development 
Other 

But these are not present in the Whisker Menu. I believe that the software in those categories has been installed; if I search for "Gimp", for example, I get an entry that states "run gimp", 
and clicking on it in fact opens Gimp. But it's not in the menu. I also tried running the meta installer with all it's categories (including the menu item), but it states that everything has been 
installed. How do I get the menu properly configured with all the US software? 
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure what your exact problem is, but I've had some bug with disappearing menus a while ago. You could try to install "Alacarte" (sudo apt install alacarte) from the official repositories and click on the "Restore System Configuration" button in the lower right of the program window. That *should* restore the categories.
