Comments on Installing ubuntu-system-panel (USP) On Ubuntu 8.10

hey usp's developers, thank you this applications

no to linux

Why would you want to use this outdated, clumsy menu when you can use its (unnoficial) predecessor mintmenu? Its an official linux mint tool, so you can install it on any ubuntu computer.

Question: Any idea what makes it NOT work with 'Places' in the "wrong" spot(s)?

Will this panel work under an older iteration of Ubuntu?

Looks nice. I was looking this like menu system to ubuntu but now

its look be possibility. I think looks ubuntu to desktop again if this will come to stable release.

I made a deb according to the LinuxMint menu but with Ubuntu logo, if you need it, you can find it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=859197

Linux Mint (which is Ubuntu based) has something like this by default.

thanks for the tutorial...really i need this...this will help me to install the system panel...

I did not know that I needed this program, I did!!! :)

awful....

Wow that really lloks great!

man, that menu is awfu!

what is good about this new menu?

the current menu is fine (heck, even the current one is a bit bloated)

don't encourage more bloat...lets not make ubuntu another windows

I must agree, having only very recently swapped to Linux, this does look attractive, cos its pretty much 'Start' again... Its good stuff i guess, so who likes the bloat, ok... but the standard menu on 8.10 does it all -  just differently.

at my house the 2 computers that are used the most are my ubuntu "assembled from scrap" machine and the bloated family machine that runs window$ xp. with the start button on the xp machine you can reach an place on the computer after you wait 5 minutes for windows to render a program menu as big as the entire screen! seriously this system menu looks exactly the same size and has huge blotches of empty space. my verdict: it sucks

Hey thanks for taking the time to show users how to do this. The panel isn't quite  what I am looking for but maybe after some more development. For anyone looking at this with Kubuntu 8.10 check out the Lancealot menu. It is a great replacement for the KDE panel in my opinion.

Is there any .deb package from it?

Thx.

This information from your screen shots explained me and gained me some knowledge ! 

 Thanks 

any chance on really finding what you need in there? there's the gnome-main-menu which does that all already...

you want productivity? try GNOME-DO or LAUNCHY! in nearly all cases you KNOW what you're looking for and don't need that menu to go and search what you know.. so just click and run

The detailed installation steps given by Mr Falko Timme are very very useful & helpful & self explanatory.

I've found the following isn't necessary for Ubuntu 9.04....or is something else needed...seems to be working good.

If you are on an x86_64 system (only then), you also need to run the following command:

sudo cp /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/usp/plugins/_keybind64.so _keybinder.so
