i just updated from 0.18 to the newest version using apt. everything worked fine but now many of my menu entrys in mythfrontend are gone. everything that has to do with plugins and even the "mythtv entry" which lets you shut down your machine is lost. what do i have to do to get them back?

thanks for your help !

Do you have the opengl menu painter enabled? Whenever I enable it I lose my menus, they flash for a moment when you select something, but disappear quickly.

There is an option you can pass to mythfrontend to enable the qt painter, but I could not find it on the forum (it's here somewhere).

This was a Knoppmyth installation that you upgraded using apt-get? You will certainly lose the custom tweaks Cecil added to MythTV by doing that, such as menu items.

i fear you are right ... is there an easy way to get back my old menu xml files (as far as i can tell, thats the only thing not working the way i want it), or do i have to reinstall knoppmyth?

If you are comfortable with a text editor, put this block: near the end of these files:

And then copy those files into ~mythtv/.mythtv so the next time you build and install mythtv you won't lose the menus:
