Removing the MeMenu

  • 772

I want to remove the MeMenu, without removing the logout/shutdown/restart/etc. button next to it. I never use social networks, so I have no use for this function. Any tips?

  1. To only display the session manager, launch gconf-editor from the terminal or the "Run Application" dialog (call by pressing Alt+F2). Next browse to /system/indicator/me/ and change the vaulue for display from 1 to 0.

    gconf

    Or you can just run this command in the terminal:

    gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 0

    To re-enable the MeMeun, run:

    gconftool -s /system/indicator/me/display --type int 1

    Try:

    sudo apt-get remove indicator-me

    If you also want to get rid of the Messaging Applet:

    sudo apt-get remove indicator-me indicator-messages

  3. You can also add applications you don't want to appear in the dropdown to the blacklist at ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist by copying their configuration from /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications into that directory. See this bug for more discussion.
