Mistake with xfce4 folder trying to fix the whisker menu bug

Hello,
since I had the same bug as in this topic “start-menu-disappeared-after-update/49515” (the system tells me I can’t insert links) where favorites of whisker menu got blank.
I tried to repeat the simple solution described there

bug Fixed…I had to copy xfce4 folder to another folder and reboot, then I move folder back and its all perfect…

but I did it mistakenly - I moved the folder xfce4 (in /usr/share/) rather than copying it. Even after having brought it back to its location and reboot, the whisker menu has completely disppeared and even the panel got completely blank.
Is it still possible to fix it back? Thanks

Maybe try to re-install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin ?

This will restore/reset the menu. Open a terminal & do the following.

xfce4-panel --quit

pkill xfconfd

rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/panel

rm - rf ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

xfce4-panel

Welcome aboard. :slight_smile:

Thanks Hipster,
the commands restored the panel, but as for the whisker menu, there’s a normal menu instead of it.

Is there anything wrong with the last command?
Output of command lines:

[zero@zero-pc /]$ xfce4-panel --quit
[zero@zero-pc /]$ pkill xfconfd

And would it be possible to restore the whisker menu?

yes
I guess you now have a default panel which you can configure.
You can add the whisker menu yourself, place it and then remove the application menu …

To restore the configuration it came with when you installed:

open a terminal as you did before, quit the panel and the configuration daemon

xfce4-panel --quit
pkill xfconfd

then copy the current manjaro default value for the panel from /etc/skel to your home directory, overwriting the files that are there now

cp -r /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/panel ~/.config/xfce4
cp /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml

then restart the panel
xfce4-panel

or, better, log out and back in

You can always do the procedure @Hipster gave to get back to where you are now.
