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
