Call for Testing - MenuLibre

[Sean Davis]

Greetings everyone!

I've been working diligently these past few weeks to fix all of the 
bugs that popped up in MenuLibre after Trusty was released.  I've been 
testing my fixes out in a few virtual machines and I think the program 
is release-ready now.  I'm reaching out to all of you for a bit of 
variety in the tests.  So, if you'd like to help out, here's what I 
would like you to do.

Just to avoid any variation with other libraries, please perform this 
test on an up-to-date trusty (14.04) installation.

First, backup your files.  If you don't do this, you will lose your 
custom launchers and any launchers installed locally.
You'll want to make a backup of the following directories to preserve 
your current menu layout:
~/.config/menus
~/.local/share/applications
~/.local/share/desktop-directories

Second, remove your current menu structure.  There were some issues in 
the previous release that led to corrupt menus... we want to clean that 
up.
rm ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
rm ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/user*.menu
rm ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/*.directory
rm ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop

Next, install the latest MenuLibre daily from the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:menulibre-dev/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install menulibre

Finally, start menulibre and get to editing.
