Porteus

I am new to Porteus, I installed it with kde desktop environment then I started downloading the packages I use to work with in usm repo, I do not know what I did the thing all the applications icons from the menu on the desktop are gone.
When I run a specific program for instance libreoffice, it prompt, but upon trying to open a file there's no associated application. How can I get back the apps icon visibles. Need help.

Run these commands at the terminal and you can try a new Porteus - http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/Porteus-v3.2rc4/

Cheers

Sorry Blaze, I am completely blocked, I tried the command you provided me but it returned this message

After re-installed Porteus, I started downloading the apps I use to work with then I noticed the apps disappeared again after downloaded and installed ktorrent. Does anybody knows why this is happening? I would not like to re-install again.
I really want to give a try to Porteus, I used to work with pclinuxos. not a expert but familiarized with it.

You should be able to eliminate that annoying message by removing the /usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml file and updating the mime database. Regards,
Blaze

Still no luck Blaze.
I run the commands as you suggested but nothing yet.
my computer is a 32bit. I checked the apps in /bin folder the executable are there, how can I add them into the applications menu.

Hi, linuxer.
This is a very strange problem. Can you show these commands? and run (how guest and root accounts) I'm done for you this module kdelibs5-data_4.14.22-1_all.xzm (you can try too)

Here is what mean and like I said it the icon with word Code on it. You don't have to write anything. Just start a message and copy from a terminal or a text editor then paste it in a message then high lite the text again then push the button with code on it. Below is what it look like. Hope this help you out.

linuxer, run these commands If you does not have kde-4-applications.menu at /etc/xdg/menus - you can download and activate this module kde-4-applications.xzm and run these commands (see above) again.

I've got news for you guys, I took extremes measures by wiping the two partitions I've got then I re-installed porteus with the xfce desktop environment, by the way, which I love it, but guess what, I am watching both desktop mixed kde4 and xfce. all apps from kde4 plus the apps from xfce are in the launch menu along with the packages I downloaded which are libreoffice, ktorrent, google chrome and thunderbird. So what do you think just happened?
and so far everything is running smoothely

is it possible to make ktorrent my default torrent and magnet links downloader? if so, how can I do that.
