I have lots of instructions for various things that tell me to choose the Administration function from my System menu. It doesn't exist. What should I do?

  • First of all, what exactly are the instructions you have? And which version of Ubuntu are you using. I don't remember having such a "System Menu" as from 11.10 or so... – Geppettvs D'Constanzo May 11 '17 at 23:47
  • My CUPS isn't working at all. When I troubleshoot it says "The CUPS print spooler does not appear to be running. To correct this, choose System->Adminstration->Services from the main menu and look for the 'cups' service." I have Systems Settings window that I can open, in that window there is a section simply called System. However, in that section called System, there is no option for Administration. – silversurfer.wf May 11 '17 at 23:56

Modern Ubuntu distros does not support System->Administration tab. Here and there exist threads which proves answer to this problem.

If you want to start cups service, press Ctrl+Alt+T and type:

sudo service cups start
