Ubuntu start menu for Kubuntu

[Guest]

Hi

Is it possible to have the Ubuntu start menu for Kubuntu? By Ubuntu start menu I mean the start menu in the classic Genome, the one which is on the left top and you have access to your programs, settings and drives.

Thank You

Hi and welcome to KFN.

Try one of these, I think all should be in the repositories, or installed by default.

Start menu classic style


Start menu modern style


Homerun

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-homerun

Lancelot

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-lancelot

best regards

How 'classic' do you mean ?

The classicmenu-indicator:

:~$ apt-cache show classicmenu-indicator

Description: indicator showing the main menu from Gnome Classic
classicmenu-indicator displays the main menu from Gnome2/Gnome Classic

With the KDE you need: classicmenu-indicator, gnome-menus. python-setuptools.

Hi Jonas, right-click on the desktop and unlock the widgets. Next, right-click the Kmenu launch icon on your panel and remove it. . Next click on the new acorn that appeared on the right of your panel. Select Add Widgets... In the row that appears, double-click on the Kmenu that is that is on the right. It looks just like the one you just double-clicked on, and the one you removed, but contains the 'Classic Menu'. It will still appear as Kmenu, but should give you what you want when you open it. Click the X to close the 'Add Widget' bar, and right-click the desktop and lock your widgets. Now click on your Kmenu panel Icon and see if it is what you want. Hope this helps. By the way, new technology is usually an improvement. I believe if you gave the newer panel a try for a couple of weeks, you would never want to change back. It takes a little while to get used to, but is much faster and easier to use, once you are familiar. Just my personal opinion. The other Launcher is great too.
