I'm doing what I can to help Ray out with this. Apparently his version of ubuntu removed the gnome-classic option which is why he's having this trouble.

I am not able to review the contents of the menu very effectively, and gnome is virtually inaccessible, although orca seems to work just fine in the terminal. when I saught to ascertain the version of linux on this machine, all I was able to get was "buster-sid." Older vions of linux used to have a menu that was accessed by alt-f1. In this menu one could shut down the system, access liber office, systems, networks and many other menu items. Well, this menu doesn't even seem to even exist anymore. This system cost me $700, and I would very much like to have a machine that is at least as functional as the system that I ran for years. I have been without a computer for a year and a half, and I find that so much has changed. Might I be using a version of ubuntu that orca hasn't caught up with yet? If this is the case, would I be better off dropping back to an older version? At this point, I haven't a clue as to how to proceed. Responders may want to respond off list so as to avoid bogarding list traffic, or if convenient, I would welcome a call @ 386-453-1147. Any help that anyone can give would be most highly appreciated. I am in rather a bind at the moment, and think penguine is a bit shy on their technical support.
