[Discuss] New Kubuntu install - Start Menu

[Murray Strome]

I had this problem once before and have forgotten completely how to fix it.

I just installed Kubuntu on an old computer. In the K start menu,  
instead of the programs showing up like, for example,
KNotes - Popup Notes

they show up as
_: Entries in K-menu, KNotes app name, Popup Notes description

Someone at that time pointed me to a very simple solution, but of 
course, I forget what it was, or even when this happened. I assume it 
was probably soon after Kubuntu 7.10 was released.

Anyone remember how to fix this? It is not serious, just a nuisance.

--------------
Just for interest:  The old computer (not mine) I installed this on had 
Windows 98 and the hard drive failed completely (not even recognized by 
the BIOS).  I put in one of my old hard drives and tried to reload 
Windows 98.  It was a tedious job which did not work very well. The NIC 
card didn't work, the graphics system was not properly recognized, etc. 
Since I was just fooling around with it, before giving it away, selling 
it or just junking it, I installed Kubuntu.  I was really amazed at how 
quickly and easily it installed and how everything just worked perfectly 
(except for the minor glitch mentioned above).

This is the first time I have tried to install both Windows then LINUX 
on the same machine within a couple of days (Windows approximately one 
day with marginal success, Kubuntu about 1 hour with no real 
difficulties). The computer itself is so old and limited in resources 
that I doubt it would even support XP, let alone VISTA.
