After the installation of pyCharm (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/) I experience an error message after each boot (see next image) while all applications shortcuts from the main menu of MATE just disappeared! (see next image) .
I would appreciate any suggestion about make them appear again!

Re: The applications shortcuts at main menu dissappeared
This is a known bug. It's not clear when the fix will be released, but you can fix it yourself:
- Runin the terminal.
Code: Select all
gksu pluma /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu/plugins/easybuttons.py
- Go to line 282.
- Replace
with
Code: Select all
c = c_char_p(iconName.encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
Code: Select all
c = c_char_p(iconName.decode('utf-8', 'ignore').encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
- Save the file.
- Log out and log in back.
Re: The applications shortcuts at main menu dissappeared
Thank you for your advice however it seems that it is not solves the problem. Actually, after I tried
c = c_char_p(iconName.decode('utf-8', 'ignore').encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
I see The funny thing is that I can not go in the previous situation since the change
c = c_char_p(iconName.encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
is not make any improvement. I also tried with
c = c_char_p(iconName.encode("ascii", "ignore"))
but in vein.
I guess, tommorow I will upgrade in LM Mate 16 (now I am running 15).
c = c_char_p(iconName.decode('utf-8', 'ignore').encode('ascii', 'ignore'))

Re: The applications shortcuts at main menu dissappeared
Check the indentation, it must be exactly the same as before.
Re: The applications shortcuts at main menu dissappeared
Ok, probably the problem is that by copying - paste from your post some hidden character created a problem. By copying the line 401 of the same file I revert to the previous problematic situation, however it is still not possible to see the menu icons.
Re: The applications shortcuts at main menu dissappeared
Try copying from here and pay attention to the indentation this time. There should be exactly 12 spaces before the code.

Well done! Thank you for your help!
