I click the menu icon, and I don't get the actual mint menu. It looks something like just a old File menu, with everything in it. How can I fix this?
I had used a Linux Mint live cd in the past, it was version 7. I recently downloaded and installed the latest version, but it doesn't seem to work very well. Main problem being that Mint menu doesn't load. And also, I have no idea where I can change the display settings, since I am running this on a laptop but just want it to display onto my external display. Help would be greatfully appreciated, thanks.

Re: No mintmenu
yeahh, i would imagine so
what you have is LXDE http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1793 and that is lxde's menu, mintmenu is a gnome "thingy" http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1760
and mintmenu doesn't work in LXDE

The LXDE menu doesn't have an option to reload the plugins. As mintMenu doesn't work in LXDE, adding it isn't an effective option either.vincent wrote:Right click your mintMenu and select "Reload plugins". If that doesn't work, logout and log back in.
Open the file manager and navigate to /usr/share/applications and see if there is a launcher there for QCad. If there is, then open it with Leafpad and post the contents here. If there is not, then let me know and I'll try to make a .desktop file for you.

the wrong thing well, Kendall doesn't think so, neither a lot of other very enthusiastic users, LXDE looks very nice and i for sure have to give it a try shortly, but i know what you mean was just jokingsski wrote:just downloaded the wrong thing then
