Main Menu

emanuensis · #1 8th April 2011, 04:04 AM

In many refferals to Gnome there is the item:

Code:

System -> Preferences -> Main Menu

That seems to be missing from my installation of F14...
How do i turn it on or restore it?

(i want to add a specific app, jConsole, to "Known Applications")

I don't think I can help you directly, but I just wanted to say that I use F13 and this is present in this distro. I have never used F14, though.

I guess you mean a menu editor?

Code:

# yum install alacarte

Yes! That works through to installing jConsole.

And it installed the item "main Menu". Perhaps i have a stripped version (eg i do not have a magnifier...) Is there a general path towards extendng the system?

Use the software management tools to install the packages and package groups you need.
