2 problems

Post by bedo2991 »

I don't know exactly what I've done but...

*The icons in the mintmenu have disappeared.
*Mint update doesn't run on startup.

Any ideas?

The Menu icons are there, they've just been reduced to 1 pixel. All you have to do is right-click on the menu button, go to preferences, and then reset the icon sizes in each tab.

You can try removing Mint Update from the Startup Applications and then adding it back in.

Thank you! The icons problem was caused by me or is a known bug?
I'll try your second suggestion right now, hope it will work!

the icon thing was not a bug, i believe. did you activate romeo? doing so would update the menu, and the icon shrink occurs when updating to that version of the menu.

You have updated your system.

"Another thing worth mentioning is that mintMenu is now using pixels to define the size of its icons."

The second solution didn't worked, mintupdate still doesn't run on startup.

For mintupdate you can try running

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 644 /etc/linuxmint/mintupdate.ignored
If that doesn't help, kill mintupdate, launch it from a terminal as normal user and see if it prints some error messages

Code: Select all

killall mintUpdate

Code: Select all

mintupdate-launcher
