For some reason, I am unable to add separators to the menu in Ubuntu Classic. Is this feature broken, or is there something wrong?

I second you. I have the same issue. Please someone help us resolve this. This is a fresh installation of Ubuntu and I'm 100% sure I didn't temper it to cause this problem.– user22235Jul 26, 2011 at 10:15

It seems to happen with any fresh install. I assume it's due to the phasing out of Gnome 2.– AlanJul 28, 2011 at 19:08

I did it manually for now by editing .config/menus/applications.menu
, adding
<Separator/>
inside <Layout>...</Layout>
near the bottom of that file:
<Layout>
<Merge type="menus"/>
<Filename>Terminal.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>gedit-1.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>Firefox Web Browser.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>Tomboy Notes.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>Geeqie.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>alacarte-made.desktop</Filename>
<Menuname>alacarte-made</Menuname>
<Separator/>
<Menuname>Accessories</Menuname>
<Menuname>Debian</Menuname>
<Menuname>Education</Menuname>
<Menuname>Games</Menuname>
<Menuname>Graphics</Menuname>
<Menuname>Internet</Menuname>
<Menuname>Office</Menuname>
<Menuname>Other</Menuname>
<Menuname>Development</Menuname>
<Menuname>Science</Menuname>
<Menuname>Multimedia</Menuname>
<Menuname>System</Menuname>
<Menuname>Universal Access</Menuname>
<Separator/>
<Filename>ubuntu-software-center.desktop</Filename>
<Merge type="files"/>
</Layout>
If you use the filemanager to get to .config
(e.g. via Places/Home Folder
)
be sure to Show Hidden Files
via View/Show Hidden Files
or hit Ctrl+H
.
