[LUG] Disappearing debian menu in ubuntu

["Richard Sanders" <richardwsanders@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have tried sorting this on various forums but to no avail - hope you guys can help me out :)

I have a new install of Ubuntu Feisty
I used Automatix to install the debian menus - they didn't appear
However i think that if you ran alacarte you could see it as an option, 'could tick it' but the menu wouldn't show up
After much messing around i even lost the 'Debian' icon from alacarte
i have run update-menus and sudo update menu's

BUT - i think its some sort of permission problem, situation now is:

'menu' is installed in synaptic
no Debian menus shows up in the Applications dropdown
no Debian shows up if i run alacarte

BUT
if i run sudo alacarte the Debian menus all show up (in alacarte only)!!

So, maybe its a permissions problem - if so how can i fix it so that the debian menu shows up as it should

many thanks

Richard
