You can also hold down the Shift key when the oem splash screen appears. This will force a grub screen with no timeout.
Good if you only need grub occasionally.

If you change /etc/default/grub as MrEen has shown then you must also run: to make the changes effective.

So here is a plan of approach for now.
Right-click an empty spot on the desktop and choose 'Create a new launcher here'
Name it Qbittorrent
in the Command field enter '/usr/bin/qbittorrent' (without quotes)
Click OK
You will be asked to add to menu, click Yes
That should get your launcher back

Strange. I installed qbittorrent in all 3 Mint desktops to try to duplicate your situation, and afterward installed every update offered in Update Manager. After reboot the qbittorrent icon was still in the menu Applications/Internet. The path to the executable is /usr/bin/qbittorrent and you can ma...

What on God's Green Earth? I had qbittorrent installed and running fine on my system. Then today an update showed up in the Update Manager. I went ahead with it. Since then, I can't find the app in the Menu. It's not listed there. It shows up as installed in Synaptic Package Manager, and I even rei...

In the Update Manager you can right-click an offered update and choose to 'Ignore'. You will not be offered further updates for that package. These files are now blacklisted and you can view them via Update Manager Edit/Preferences/Blacklist tab. You can remove packages in this list by highlighting ...

Which desktop for Rosa?
MATE, Cinnamom, etc?

Hello and welcome Neon Black. The upside is that you didn't throw in the towel--you hung in there like a boss, and learned some 'under the hood' things about Linux and Mint in the process. The learning curve seems steeper than it really is in the beginning, but it levels out rather quickly as you go...

Seems rather young to be our grandparent

The latest release for Palemoon is 28.0 and just released today. You can get it from palemoon.org I use palemoon as a stand-alone self contained application--no installation needed. This is the link to that file: http://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/ Just right-click the tarball and extract i...

hi @gm10 -- glad you're aboard here. @boysha Please post the results of terminal inquiry: inxi -Sr You need to get your connection back up.

Synaptic wouldn't give me an option to reinstall Strange. Here on 18.3 Mate I was able to bork the menu within /usr/lib/python2/dist-packages by deleting the file matemenu.x86_64 linux-gnu.so file. This removed not only the third tier (which is how your menu looks) but also remove the second tier o...

Thank you so much!!! Good day! If you have added themes try reverting back to an original Mint theme. If you have updated to a new kernel you could try reverting that back to the previous version at the Grub boot screen by choosing Advanced options. The Applications section of the menu is generated...

Since new users get a fresh set of config files you have eliminated that question mark.
I have a rather early errand in the morning so calling it a night here, but I will continue to follow
this thread and think on it.

A man and his wife are having dinner at a plush restaurant. As the wife is returning from the lady's room she saw a woman kissing her husband. She walked to the table and demanded "Who was that woman?" The husband said well, if you must know, she is my mistress. The wife then says "Well that's it--w...

Try creating a new user in "Users and Groups" -- get there by typing "user" in the search window of the menu
and Enter.
Then logout, and log back in as the new user. Does the apps menu show normally there?
If so there is a corruption somewhere in your home hidden configuration settings.

The menu you are having problems with is called Mint menu-advanced menu.
Did you try adding a new advanced menu as I suggested above to see if it displays the apps?

I reckon Moem's or All41's avatars could be a mascot, but, seriously? Who cares? We're here for an operating system, not a bl**dy football game!

Naah--I vote for catweazel's
