====== Mint Mate Edit menu doesn't work ======
===== Scenario =====
You try to edit the Mate menu but nothing happens, trying both from the control center and with right click on the menu button.

===== Solution =====
The problem lies in the ~/.config/menu that for some reasons change ownership to root.
You only have to reverse the permission to the normal user

<code bash>
sudo chown ~/.config/menu `whoami`:`whoami`
</code>


Shouldn't work, retry with
<code bash>
sudo chown -R ~/.config/menu `whoami`:`whoami`
</code>

For non-experts: `whoami` is written between backticks: don't use apostrophe for that! On the US and UK Keyboards is on the left of the 1 key.

For italian users: su tastiera italiana si fa con **ALTGR + '** (that's why I changed nation! ^_^ )
