system menu

[Michael Harden]

Binary package hint: xorg

The system menu does not display while in the normal gnome environment. I am able to use the 2d version of unity, and was able to access the Main Menu program. the two sub menu's, prefferences, and administration, is still available, and known, however, the system menu itself is no longer there, instead the two subs appear as regular folders, under another main menu called display that is also appearing as a folder, and not as a typical menu. the 2d version is the only environment that I can run system programs at correctly, as the only option to run programs that I can't find under the Applications menu is by the run command, and it does not list all the programs, nor does it run some correctly, mainly synaptic.

that's unity-2d for you, oneiric doesn't have the classic gnome session anymore, at least doesn't ship with it.

[Michael Harden (michaelharden1a)]

When will the gnome 3 environment be available with 11.10?
