Think you have a typo there. When I try that search I get 20.04.4 <br>
instead of 29.04.04 -- which (the former) is what I'm running.<br>
<br>
During my transition from CentOS to Ubuntu, I found a web page of <br>
recommended customization tasks for a new install. One of them is the <br>
Gnome plug-in that provides the categorized drop-down applications menus <br>
in the top bar that I believe you are referring to. So the capability <br>
is there for a full installation via the GUI software installer after <br>
reboot, but not so much for a launch from a thumb drive or DVD-ROM using <br>
the distribution ISO.<br>
<br>
Amit, are you recommending that Canonical add that plug-in as part of a <br>
default install/instance of 20.04 et al?<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes, whoever or whichever company manages Ubuntu, they/it should put applications menu by default on all flavors to make all flavors user friendly.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Amit</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
