I edited the main menu in the preferences, the main menu is a mass now

items go into an "others" menu

then I tried:

apt-get install --reinstall kali-menu kali-defaults

it doesn't work!

and I can't upload an image here, don't know why..

I had the same problem. Just delete the file in ~/.config/menus/ It should be the only file in that folder, after that it should restore the applications menu to default.

delete menu customizations inside your home folder!

The menu is built from the *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications

All my Kali .desktop files are still in the folder. 'usr/share/applications' They're still not showing up in the menu though.

I tried booting off the live cd, and copying the .desktop files over my local installation... but still the same results.

Any ideas?

Edit: I fixed the problem by deleting: home/.config/menus/gnome-applications.menu
