/* Restore the Classic Menu that's missing from Unity */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
Ubuntu may seem completely different from what it used to be due to the new [[Unity Desktop for GNOME]].  The GNOME Classic Menu in Ubuntu is missing, it has been replaced by Unity with its crashy "Dashboard" where you find your applications by clicking "Dashboard Home" and hoping it doesn't trigger the notorious and unresolved GPU Freeze loop.  To get the classic menu back without switching to GNOME desktop you can install classicmenu-indicator for Unity desktop.  Like the classic GNOME Menu, it includes all the applications and structure of the classic menu. It’s easy to navigate and access applications for those who are used to it.{{:Install_and_Launch_the_Classic_Gnome_Menu_in_Ubuntu_14.04}} As root or using sudo do the following: apt-add-repository ppa:diesch/testing apt-get update apt-get install classicmenu-indicatorAfter installing it, go and launch the application from Unity Dash. It’s called Classic Menu Indicator. When you launch it, it will automatically dock at the top panel over towards the right side. It should be just left of the speaker or clock.  It will look like three horizontal bars.
