I think the problem is that the “applications.menu” file is missing in “/home/guus/.config/menus/” and “/etc/xdg/menus/”.
I paste my file on pastebin. Download it and copy the file in the folders mentions above and run
Then I went looking for the file I had downloaded.
it had an second extention.txt.
When I removed the .txt extension and run the command again, programs are back in the menu.
Desktop is missing everything what was on their, but I should be able to fix that. I hope I wont have to do it one by one. ( shortcuts )
This problem might be because of one of my fixing attempts.
I tried running that comand, that failed, then tried yast, same error

Well, this might explain why you had the problem in the first place.
First of all, try to clear the zypper caches so that the package is re-downloaded. Right now it is just installed from the download cache, regardless whether you use YaST or zypper. They both use the same library underneath, libzypp.
zypper clean -a
“Input/Output error” would suggest that you have a problem with your hard disk though.
Run “dmesg|tail” after trying to install the package and post the output.
Try to run fsck (boot from a LiveCD to do this, or add “rd.break” to your boot options to stop booting before / is mounted and used to boot from).
Have a look at the output of smartctl.
First attempt, live cd did not boot, so I burned a new one.
That worked but fsck did nothing.
I had an idea why that did not work, so used google and the online man page of fsck.
Also used Kinfo, to see how my hard-disk and its partitions are called.
Then I found out that fsck /dev/sdb2 should be the right command ( for me )
So today started up the rescue cd of opensuse 13.1.
Opened up a console and typed fsck /dev/sdb2
Then openSUSE told me , I had to be root so, su and another try.
I do not really understand all it asked, but it repaired inodes, links and some more stuff.
The summary at the end told me I had 0.1% of corrupted thingies.
Next I rebooted and tried the zypper command again.
This time it worked. rotfl!
Thank you guys.
Now I only need to find out why I have two taskbars. :
I only had one when this all started.
I got exactly the help I wanted, I prefer to be pointed in the right direction, and having to do some reading myself.
Learned a lot, to bad I don use these commands enough to remember them.
Some times I wish I had seen the early days of Linux.
Maybe I should install slackware ( mommy of suse ;)) or arch.
Not that I want to use another distro, but those two, would prob force me to learn more about Linux.
My first distro was suse 9.3 or something like that.
Second taskbar is gone.
At first I was a bit scared, that removing one taskbar would remove both, but it didn’t.
( no, I dont trust computers)
Slightly off topic, I am loving Linux (the command-line) more and more.
I did not format my drive, I did not reinstall my os , but its working again.
Many years ago when I first learned about pc’s , I hated (and still do, ms dos)
The Linux command-line is a totally different story though.
Great tool, also to screw up your system, but you learn a lot from that too.
I am still on 13.1 and kde, so I do not think its related.
Its easy to see how that file system could get corrupted.
I use openSUSE for a lot of things, and sometimes programs totally freeze the desktop, and often I can’t use the keyboard anymore either.
Holding the power button of the pc is then the only option.
Sometimes LMMS freezes my system.
Sometimes its a game (through steam), and I suspect skype to cause sound issues.
Audacious also sometimes freezes my system.
, but its working again.
