[qubes-users] Orphan menu entries after deleting VM's

Mailing Lists qubes-users

Hi guys,

After deleting the work and personal VM’s in the qubes VM manager, the vm settings shortcuts from both vm’s were not deleted from the menu.
So i still have two menu entrys for personal and work in my startmenu, with both only the vm settings entry listed.
I have checked ~/.local/share/applications/ and /usr/local/share/applications/ for these orphan shortcut but they arent there…
Where else can i look for these orphan shortcuts? or how can i get rid of these broken shortcuts…?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Hi Dave,

 I think you can find it with the find command \(here an example for the 'personal VM'\):

[adm@dom0 ~]$ find -iname "*personal*"

 \./\.config/menus/applications\-merged/ and \./\.local/share/qubes\-appmenus/personal/apps/ seems to be good candidates\. Reading the Freedesktop menu spec could help you\. Backup the files before any \(delete\) actions\.
