View Full Version : [SOLVED] Application for panel Applets??

Just reinstalled 13.04 and gnome fallback.

In the previous installation I had an app that would list applications - applets for the panel in my case - and greatly simplified searching and installing, not to mention re-installing and removing.

Could someone that recognizes this application from my shoddy description remind me what it was and how I got it?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean but in 13.04 to add applets to the panel in fallback
you need to alt+super+Rclick on the panel.

You may find that "Alt + Right Click" will work for you.

If your talking about extra panel icons, then install "indicator-applet-complete".

There was a drawer applet in which a number of application applets could be stored on the panel in a drop down menu , but I don't see it in the add to panel list or synaptic .

It was done away with in gnome-classic, but Unity has it. I tried installing it in the classic session, got it on my panel but it wouldn't work :(

I used Drawer in Gnome 2-10.10 and I don't log into classic that much ,so I had to check for it .

It wasn't an applet, or the Meta-RClick menu, but a full application for Browsing/Installing/Upgrading/Removing them.

Synaptic Package Manager (https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=synaptic+package+manager+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) ?


sudo apt-get install synaptic

Excuse me , I was side tracked by the title a bit. I would agree that synaptic fits the description.

Synaptic it was, and is again!

Thank you gentlemen, and my apologies for not giving a better description of the application, I just didn't know how.

Cheers!
