Since JEdit seems to be the only thing that's been broken, I'm reluctant to do a full reinstallation to try to sort out the mess, it's a program I only use for one specific task, and it's easier and quicker for me to write a small FreePascal utility to do the job. If I find something else that's broken, that may be a different matter.

It must be somewhere in the config files, but I saved mine and overwrote them with the defaults, and the menu is still in the 12.04 format - list of first level options, no split panel. As much as I didn't like that format when was experimenting with Mint 18, it has grown on me and it works, unlike the 12.04 apps which are obsolete and fail. Thanks again.

I saw that in your last post here. Not helpful at all. If you're not using Xubuntu, why are you on an email list to discuss Xubuntu features, uses, etc.?

I installed a brand new SSD for the boot drive, and after a couple of issues with the DVD, I installed Xubuntu 18.04.1 and brought it up. Then I remounted my old /home drive on /home and things went kind of screwy. I managed to get past some of the strange things, but this one has me baffled - the mouse button brings up the old menus I had on 16.04, not the new 18.04 menu I got before I switched /home mounts. Many parts of the older menu don't work. The 16.04 settings manager app is still there and it doesn't work on some the Desktop settings at all (didn't come up on a desktop right-click - I ran xfdesktop-settings and now it's working better, but the menu is still the old 16.04-style menu). How do I reset the menu back to the new one? It looks more like the Mint menu than the old one. I have my issues with that, but I actually like it better now that I've been using it at work for a few weeks. I'm guessing it's one of my old config files, but I have no idea which one or what to tweak/replace in it. Thanks. MR Gave up on xubuntu.

If I can't report problems, that in itself is a HUGE problem in my view. I'm ignoring what happened with vim for the moment. If I cannot report problems, perhaps nobody can, and the whole thing is useless. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I don't even know how to get this bug reported.

Re: [xubuntu-users] How can I install Apple ITunes on Ubuntu 18.01 LTS Desktop or get new software for my Apple IPad?
iTunes is made for Windows and Mac only. The only way to reliably run it on Linux is to install VirtualBox (virtualbox.org) - or some other virtualization software - and then install Windows on VirtualBox and then install iTunes on Windows. I have done this in the past when I used to have an iPhone and it works fine for syncing your library but playing videos on iTunes itself within the virtual machine was not pretty. You can, of course, install software and music/videos directly from the iPad without using iTunes at all. Updates to iPad should also be downloadable over the air as well. Good luck!
