Remo: Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm setting this bug to confirmed, since several people, myself included, have confirmed it already. Yes, we're looking at getting this change, or something very similar to it, officially into Lubuntu. Normally I don't think xfce4-taskmanager is part of Lubuntu, so that seems like an unusual issue that is not directly related to this bug. ** Changed in: lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650432 Title: update-manager (and other system wide settings tools) appear in Preferences menu instead of a System Administration menu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 650432] Re: update-manager (and other system wide settings tools) appear in Preferences menu instead of a System Administration menu
Dear Jonathan thank you very much. I have changed the file and I am perfectly satisfied. I hope this will become the default for the distribution? May I add that in System -> System Tools there are two Task Managers (one is lxtask and one is xfce4-taskmanager): maybe the entries' names should be different.

[Bug 650432] Re: update-manager (and other system wide settings tools) appear in Preferences menu instead of a System Administration menu
This is not an issue in update-manager at all. The issue is in the lxmenu-data package. Specifically, the package includes an Administration menu directory file lxde-settings-system.directory However the /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-application.menu files does not use it. As a result, many applications that are in Categories System and Settings (that is, applications which change system wide settings, and are therefore System Administration tools) are incorrectly located in the Preferences submenu in LXDE. Preferences is for per-user preferences, not system wide tools such as "Users and Groups" (only in a rather weak sense can adding a new user to a machine be considered a "preference"!). One way to correct this is to edit the /etc/xdg/menus/lxde- application.menu file so that it subdivides the System menu into two, "Administration" and "System Tools", and then places all applications with both System and Settings categories into the Administration menu. The attached /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-application.menu file does exactly this. ** Attachment added: "Corrected lxde-applications.menu file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/650432/+attachment/1837704/+files/lxde-applications.menu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650432 Title: update-manager (and other system wide settings tools) appear in Preferences menu instead of a System Administration menu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
