this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/613358 "This has occured after: a) I have installed Squirrel SQL client, with option to add squirrel shortcut to "" menu section (name contains of empty string) b) new main menu section "" has appeared, and inside there was a shortcut to squirrel c) I have moved this shortcut to "Programming(?)" section, it was ok d) I tried to delete "" menu section from main menu. e) all entries from main menu disappeared (this is unlikely that I have selected all menu entries and deleted them) e) alacarte stopped to respond, so I have closed it. f) tried to start alacarte, and it has failed to start with the errors" "Traceback (most recent call last):

It looks like your menu has invalid UTF-8 data. Can you try with alacarte master?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/alacarte/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
