[ubuntu-studio-users] Start menu and other issues

[Mac]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your reply.

I discovered alacarte after much googling and have restored my whisker menu.

I had not found the guide you linked, but it is now bookmarked.

If I'm not mistaken this is the same .desktop file content used on the
Raspberry Pi desktop.

I am working on the firewire issue. I have a thread going on the Linux
Audio Users list and am making progress.

Regards,
Mac
