unity unable to use administration

Asked by Bill C

Unable to find administration menu since upgrading to 11.1 ? I have tried logging in with gnome and gnome classic, but the 'menu bar' is 'grayed' ? Have tried reading the 'help' notes but just go in circles always wind-up hours spent with NO answers.

  I am not a geek ----- but until "UNITY" Ubuntu always just worked for me,
               Since "Unity"....... I am almost ready to go back to Microcrap ! ! ! C R A S H E S constantly !
                                 Cannot find or use admin.
   IF this was my first venture away from 'M.S. Windows' . . . . this would convince me to stay with "M.S. Windows" !
     What is all this Libre stuff ? Open Office always worked good for me, or maybe these problems with unity
  tend to blacken my view of all the changes to what I thought "WAS a very good system" ?
    I have spent too many hours trying to figure out the "NEW UBUNTU" with not one answer found.
  For me as an 'untrained user' this fiascal is a thousand times worse than MS going from XP to Vista !
   I have been trying to convince friends to change from windows to Ubuntu....... what a fool I have made of myself !
NOT only is this unacceptable, This makes me want to throw my computer at the wall from frustration !
  MAYBE I am an idiot ? BUT it seems many others are having a "V I S T A" 'moment' with this also.
   I did the 'upgrade' (? DIVE ?) Then I tried using the 'live cd' to see if the upgrade had a problem, nope, both same.
      WHY ? Did they have to destroy a good system for this mess ?
  Someday I may be able to add and subtract programs and app.s and such using terminal, then maybe I could adjust any system to my liking.
BUT I H A D found Ubuntu simple and intuitive and was suggesting it to friends . . . . N O W ? ? ?
    Sorry for the complaining but in my opinion : Ubuntu went from Great to completely UN-usable AND UN-acceptable !
               Have no desire to go to terminal and put in pages of code words for what ?
   It used to work NOW it is a geek toy.................

All system administration applications are found under the 'Applications' icon on the dock. By clicking on this and selecting 'System' it'll show you your most used applications and under them all will be your system administration applications.

Can you help with this problem?
