"Classic Menu Editor" and "classic menu editor" are terms that Ubuntu does not understand.
On the other hand, type "sudo apt-get install classicmenu-indicator" in Mate Terminal and your wish will be granted.
I found and installed Samba, but then it disappeared. What I'm actually looking for is a way of transferring data over a crossover network cable.
The "system" killed this question as originally posted. Here's my re-write:
That's just a start. I'm a serious user of linux, accustomed to text menus and apps with names. Oddball icons are of no help. The Ubuntu Apps page is all icons and uncompleted names which Ubuntu won't let me sort by name; they're sorted by rankings instead.
I need the following app's: samba, and a text editor that doesn't line-wrap and which can handle long lists in the multi-megabyte range.
So far I've installed Ubuntu 20.4.2.0-amd64 from a live flash drive that I created from trisquel's Startup Disk Creator because the folder names in the ubuntu-20.4.2.0-amd64.iso look exactly like trisquel's .iso folder names; nothing else on the 'Net made sense.
Regarding Samba; Here is what Mate Terminal had to say about it:
sudo apt-get install samba
... Setting up samba-common-bin (2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9)
... Checking smb.conf with testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

Where is Samba; was it successfully installed ?
Regarding "Classic Menu Indicator" here's what Mate Terminal said:
sudo apt-get install 'Classic Menu Indicator'
Reading package lists...
Done Building dependency tree

Done E: Unable to locate package Classic Menu Indicator
Aside: same result for 'classic menu indicator'
I thought Wine might be handy; Mate Terminal responded:

At one of two prior UBUNTU installation attempts, "Classic Menu Indicator" was listed in the icon-based UBUNTU software screen, but in the present installation ("Something Else" and "Normal") it isn't listed in a fashion that I can recognize. English has been my native language for 84 years.
