Ok, I found the problem: HUD only works if you make use of the global menu.
As I did not like the global menu on my 24 inch screen, I removed the package. That also leaves HUD inoperable as the commands for HUD are read from the global menu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/975274). But perhaps a solution is on it's way: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/682788 I will retry it later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989001 Title: hud does not show application specific functions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-appmenu/+bug/989001/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
