      Hello people from Antix linux! I’ve installed Antix Linux 19.3 full and installed many packages like steam, opera and etc…
      but none of these appeared on menu Applications. I did ever used control center and favorites app and refresh the menu and nothing. Please I would like to receive some help. Thanks in advance!

            Hi.

            output:

            Traceback (most recent call last):
              File "/usr/local/bin/desktop-menu", line 29, in <module>
                import xdg.Menu
            ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xdg'

            restart the system and nothing

            That is strange. Did you install antiX from core or did you remove some packages?
            Try installing these packages:
            sudo apt install xdg-utils python-xdg

            and then run the command again.

              python-xdg is already the newest version (0.25-5).
              xdg-utils is already the newest version (1.1.3-1+deb10u1).

              I’did not remove packages and I’ve installed some packages but none appeared

              I’ve installed Antix from USB

              EDIT:
              I am thinking to switch to antix base! there was not this issue!

                  My experience is that updating the menu worked out of the box with both full and base.

                  See if caprea’s suggestion worked.
                  Did you enable or added any other repositories to your system? The default buster repos are OK, but the testing ones may replace some functionality.

                    Sounds like something familiar, please open control center bottom tab, you will find menu manager.
                    You will need to select the menu, depending on what you installed applicationss or personal.

                    Click show items button. Likely the applications will be marked not set or not shown. Select items
                    to show, if you hold control key multiple selection is possible. click ok. Be patient Process is slow.

                                2 options I think depending on which version of the menu script you are using. You will need
                                1.) python-xdg, xdg-utils (old version)
                                2.) python3-xdg xdg-utils python-gi(gtk3) and python3 (new version)

                                It sounds like installing a program or updating caused a dependency issue / half install. It may help to post the /var/log/apt/history.log file with the inxi command Xecure posted about. Seeing how you are planning on trying the base version hopefully you will have better luck with it.
