![]() ![]() This all happens automatically the next time you boot. To switch to a new Linux kernel, you have to reboot your operating system and boot into it. The Linux kernel is the core of the operating system, and new Linux kernels with updates and fixes often arrive via your Linux distribution’s package manager. (I thought about this solution, also because XMenu sadly doesn't have high resolution icons in the menu bar, and thus looks a little blurry on a Retina display.GRUB2 is also where you can choose between your installed Linux kernels. folders, if present).! :smileycool::smileyinfo: And you now have a Virtual Machines section in the Script menu, in the menu bar, from where you can launch your VMs (and, of course, this can be done also with the similar VirtualBox, Parallels and QEMU, etc. In the Script menu, in the menu bar, open the user's scripts folder, at ~/Library/Scripts, and option-command-drag-and-drop to it your Virtual Machines folder, thus creating an alias to all your Fusion VMs (if stored elsewhere, of course adjust accordingly).Ĥ. In its Preferences, choose to show the Script menu in the menu bar (and you can also optionally choose to not show the computer's scripts, if you only use the menu for VMs) then quit Script Editor.ģ. ![]() ![]() Open Script Editor, at /Applications/Utilities/Script\ Editor.app.Ģ. Here's an even simpler (and hopefully temporary) workaround for launching VMs from the menu bar:ġ. Update: The Applications menu seems to be still present in the VMware Fusion 10.0.1 application bundle, at /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware\ Fusion\ Start\ Menu.app, now with version 10.0.1: so, if this really is the former menu bar item (and from the miniature icon at /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware\ Fusion\ Start\ Menu.app/Contents/Resources/statusIcon.tiff this would seem to be the case), it probably would not be too difficult to make the Applications menu functional again - if there were the will to do it. Of course, this is only a very, very basic menu, and only for launching VMs from the menu bar - but always better than nothing, for the time being. Optionally, if you use XMenu only for VMs, you can disable its Applications list. Et voilà: you have a list of your Fusion VMs in the Virtual Machines section of the XMenu menu bar item! :smileycool:Ĥ. In its Preferences, make a custom launcher, then from the XMenu menu go to Open folder in Finder, and then option-command-drag-and-drop your Virtual Machines (the name may vary, according to your language) folder into the ~/Library/Application\ Support/XMenu/Custom folder, thus creating an alias to your VMs folder.ģ. Download XMenu, from the developer's site - or from the Mac App Store (I had it already installed from there the version is the same: 1.9.8).Ģ. In the meantime, we could wait for some third party developer (remember, for example, the native VMware Fusion VMDK Mounter, which was discontinued, it too for "strange" reasons? now it has an alternative in Paragon VMDK Mounter) to make something like the VirtualBox Menulet - also for VMware Fusion, or maybe try to find some workaround: BTW, I just got a rather obvious idea, even if it is only for launching VMs (thus replicating only the functionality you also get by right-clicking the VMware Fusion Dock icon, but in the menu bar) - so, here's an example of this workaround (which probably can be done also with other popular menu bar launchers).ġ. I really hope (maybe only wishful thinking, but anyway.) that the Applications menu will return, in some future update/release.
