lubuntu 20.04 Alacarte menu editor doesn't work for me. The changes I make are not saved, or not as I make them. For example, I added a link to alacarte itself in the main menu, but the link appeared in the Other submenu. Same thing with any other app links I create; they all end up in Other. Code::Blocks, I created a folder C++ under Programming and put the CB link there, but it appeared directly under Programming. Also, invoking Alacarte from the menu doesn't work; only typing its name in a terminal does, and I get a message,
[code] Gtk CRITICAL: 28:13:52.528: gtk accel label set accel closure : assertion 'gtk accel group from accel closure (accel closure) != NULL' failed [/code]
Which, as a programmer myself I recognize as an assert that should not be present in software compiled for release. Anyways, maybe lubuntu is forcing its will on the menu... I suspect it's some bad setting; maybe it's accessing the wrong menu file. But the program has NO preferences or settings of any kind. Any idea how to make it work? Sorry I can't figure out the text formatting here.
EDIT: I've just been informed I'm running an incompatible program. I honestly have no idea what qt5 is, or LXQt for that matter. I assumed anything Synaptic showed me would work in my system. I guess this changes my question to ... how do I edit my menu?
