@libredeb How to solve this issue?

[libredeb]

Hi guys, this issue is new... let me try to reproduce it. I'll create a VM with Arch Linux and Cinnamon to see in deep what is the problem behind that error message. Thank you for the feedback!

[libredeb]

@Freemason-12 I cant reproduce the error that you say, I'm using Arch Linux 64-bit with Cinnamon. Can you share me the content of the next folder: /etc/xdg/menus/ ?

In my case, the content of the that folder is the next one:

$ ls -l /etc/xdg/menus/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9979 Mar  5 23:28 applications.menu
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5011 Jan 18 15:17 cinnamon-applications.menu
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7579 Mar 11  2020 gnome-applications.menu

And the content of the file applications.menu is the next one:
