[ubuntu-studio-users] Re-install categories in Whisker menu

[mario buoninfante]

Hi Erich,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Definitely "menulibre" messed things up. I got the favourites back 
installing and using "alacarte".
The icons are missing (I got the default one for all the Ubuntu Studio 
favourites), but I decided to leave it as it is for now.

I also found more info about this issue here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/795431/ubuntu-studio-menu-audio-video-production-graphics-directory-menu-entry-disapp

I will double check your recommendation at some point though and share 
the results here.


Cheers,
Mario
