Re: mint menu problem

Post by McLovin »

I'm not too sure about the customizing of Mint menu (I personally use the standard Gnome menu as I prefer it) but there is a new version of Mint menu in the Romeo repos, it may fix the issue with compiz. To get it, first you need to enable the Romo repos by opening a terminal and entering

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and uncomment (remove the # from in front of the lines, but only the ones that begin with "deb, and src-deb") under the Romeo ropos line, save the files and exit. Remove the Mintmenu from your panel. Then, again in the terminal do the

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge mintmenu
and then once again in the terminal, enter

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mintmenu
That will get you the newest Mintmenu.

Personally, I prefer the original USP (Ubuntu System Panel) menu, upon which Mintmenu is based; as it has more options and is more configurable. If you want to install it alongside MintMenu, it works fine (no conflicts.) Check out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=156 for more information. :-)
