IntroductionInstallation instructions for Edgy(6.10), Feisty(7.04), Gutsy(7.10), Hardy(8.04), Intrepid(8.10) and Jaunty(9.04) Instructions provided by kobewan DetailsPlease Note:- If you are running compiz/beryl you will need to set focus stealing to "None" to use USP. Installation All you need to do is make sure that you have Subversion, so that you can download the SVN. Run this command: sudo apt-get install subversion Alright, now cd to the directory that you want to download it to. For example, I like to use ~/Downloads/SVN , so that's where I'll go: cd ~/Downloads/SVN now run svn checkout http://ubuntu-system-panel.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ usp-svn This should download all the correct files that you need. Now, put in cd usp-svn and then ./usp_update install fresh That should install it for you, as well as clearing out the old version! Before you finally get to add the applet to your panel, do this: killall gnome-panel Your Panel(s) will disappear for a few seconds then re-appear. Don't worry this is correct. Now you can right click on any empty panel area, and select 'Add to Panel'. You should see 'Ubuntu System Panel' under the 'Miscellaneous' group. N.B. sudo apt-get install deskbar-applet Is required if you want the hotkey keybinder function to work. Updating Whenever you want to get the latest SVN version of USP, 'cd' to the directory that contains the SVN files (in the above example it was ~/Downloads/SVN) and type ./usp_update update This should display a log of all the changes that were made between the version that you have and the newest version. It will then download all the files that you need and attempt to install them. You will most likely need to enter your password before USP is updated. Some updates will require you to logoff and then log back on to take effect. Uninstallation You can also uninstall USP by going to the directory that contains the SVN files (in the above example it was ~/Downloads/SVN) and typing in ./usp_update uninstall If you want to uninstall completely, including removing your settings, put in ./usp_update uninstall complete

Thanks a lot for this :)
thanks this is awesome!
any chance of getting a PPA or any kind of system with updated .deb files?
yeah. any change of getting PPA? tks
the applet does not react to anything.
is there a way to add gnome-app-install to the system management section and for me some of the plugins dont work(calculator, terminal, usptime, uspcalendar,calrem, notes and resources) any advice?
and something else is it possible to make the menu disappear when you click anywhere else on the screen (like with the standarad menu). Great work and keep it up. I love using this!
the click of the menu thing has been solved (last post), it did it after my computer updated
This is probably the best program ever!!! me happy :)))
Thank you, this is great
