Sorry for the very late reply.

All your suggestions work, it was just my lack of attention that was the problem.

LOL! No worries! I'm the same way...I usually pay no attention to terminal outputs...

Take care!

No menu as expected.

Tried the first of the two terminal commands given in the Release Notes...and it failed.

Tried it again, and it failed. That sent me ballistic, and I was about to go into total demolition mode...

...but then...

I realized I hadn't connected to the internet after the reboot.

Connected to the internet, ran the two commands, and the menu was back.

Hi Miyo
Why would default be grayed out if using the right icon theme, like say papirus light or just papirus?

Papirus and Papirus Light are icon sets intended to be used with light colored system themes. So, if your system theme was say...Adwaita, your lxpanel or Xfce4 panel would be a light color. Then the volume icon would be seen normally if using Papirus/Papirus Light icons. Then that brings up the ability to change the background colors of those panels instead of using the default system theme...LOLOL!!!

I'm downloading an XTRA Jessie now. I'm concerned about losing the menu and the instructions not working, so I'm going to test it again.

Oh no...did the instructions not work (that I gave in the Release Notes) regarding how to fix the menu if a user upgrades to Ascii (by issuing two commands in the terminal)?

I'm only asking, because if the directions that I gave in the Release Notes don't work now for some reason, I'd like to know.

During my testing, I tried upgrades to Ascii several times, and the instructions worked each time.

I'm just glad to hear that you got it back though! 

...and I hate to be the bearer of bad news (?) , but I just uploaded Ascii versions to Sourceforge. DOH!!!

Thanks again! Take care!

Great distro, well done.

I had to install Linux-DesktopFiles here: https://github.com/trizen/Linux-DesktopFiles for the root menu. Not too much hassle but i was a bit confused to start with, like where the hell did right click menu go!!! lol. Then i remembered seeing that OB menu is created by obmenu generator so went to https://github.com/trizen/obmenu-generator and all was good after seeing "require linux desktop files". I did modify the menu to my liking, i like a minimal type of OB menu, thats just my preference though.

With the volume icon, i could probably fix that with volumeicon or cbatticon to get the default to work properly, i think? But gnome white will do, cheers. Scratch that, volumeicon is installed, doh. Why would default be grayed out if using the right icon theme, like say papirus light or just papirus?

That looks absolutely great! Excellent!

Thank you for the report, and I see you regained the right-click menu after upgrading.

I see your volume icon is a little dark from changing the icon theme. If you're not happy with that...and you may already know this...but if you right-click on the volume icon, and choose Preferences, you can change its Icon Theme. It's set as "Default" to match whatever Icon Theme the system is using, but there are a few others to choose from. I always change mine to "White Gnome" so that it's always white on my dark panels.

Thanks again Panopticon, I do appreciate your report, and I hope you enjoy using it.

New user here.

I decided to install Miyo linux today and go ahead and upgrade to ascii, so far so good. Very helpful link here; https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1768

I think Devuan Jessie to ascii would be prone to less headaches but i plan on trying a debian spin to devuan sometime in the future when ascii is out of development.

Thanks
