Hi,

If it can't be fix I will go back to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) as long as it works I don't need to up date it. It will be run off a USB thumb drive. But I would like to be more up to date. If I want icons like that I would put ubuntu on a cell phone but it is a computer. That why I will never upgrade my Windows to version 8 my computer is not a cell phone and that why Windows 8.1 will be out soon to try and fix it there problems.

Sorry about that I don't like the new look you got the best Linux out there why change it.

Hi,

There must be no way to fix it. So I just reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).

Xubuntu , Lubuntu or the Gnome Classic desktop are all traditional menu alternatives to Unity. There is no reason to run an unsupported version of Ubuntu to get a traditional menu .

Hi all,

Now this fix will work on USB cause I use Universal USB Installer to install then I select try and not the install. That how I use it and run it on any computer to show other and I get them use Ubuntu and tell it better then Windows and the best thing it's free.

I have a 32gb HP TouchPad I would love to put Ubuntu on but I can't.

Thanks

In the default install there is no way to show an old list menu.
In my opinion the dash search and launcher is much more efficient for new users anyway.
You may prefer the old list menu but then you probably know where everything is listed.

If you can only run from a usb look at making a persistent usb install
or seek help in installing to your PC....
OR
as Frogs Hair said look at one of the ubuntu variants to get a list menu.

If you don't like the unity interface you can simply

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
and choose a gnome-classic session at the login screen.
super+alt+Rclick on gnome-panel to customize.
