No Admin. options in menu (Solved)

[LanceHaverkamp]

Lots of sites talk about a menu section called:

System->Administration-> [whatever]

here's an example: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

But I don't have that System->Administration-> area in my menu at all.

I'm also missing any links to konsole, a root file browser, save kde session, jockey-kde, or a heck of a lot of other Admin. related controls. What's going on here?

Thanks,
Lance

Re: No Admin. options in menu

That's because the help section was written for Ubuntu (GNome). Kubuntu (KDE) is different. What you need to do is:

KDE Menu --> Applications --> Settings --> System Settings. From there you have "Add and Remove Software". Once in there go to settings --> Edit Software Sources. From there it should follow correctly.

System Settings is also the location of other "Admin" sections.

It was more complicated than just being a gnome illustration, large chunks of programs were missing from the menu at installation. I found a "restore to system menu" option in the KDE menu editor. That restored all the missing items.
