Gnomenu was last released on 2011-08-29.
Do you understand what that means?

Hi David,

try this command in a terminal:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Also make sure your system is up-to-date:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The weather applet won't work anymore. When you install a new app, *** acts funny, could be a problem for new users. I got tiredof it and went to Cairo dock, which is maintained very well. One of the main problems in Zorin OS is that Zorin Desktop is actually renamed Awn desktop. Maybe, its time for Zorin OS to move away from Awn dock and GnoMenu, maybe to Cairo with Mac look.

As AWn and GnoMenu are not looked after, it may not even know how to work with a tablet.

Hi David,
