Hi Joe, all, running a fresh built wsjtx branch (r6858) on Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome Classic window manager, the main window menu is not visible.
Really, it is a known issue, albeit a quite obscure one I believe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt5/+bug/1307619 As suggested in above bug report, just setting export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME= one can have back the menu (the default value is appmenu-qt5). Alternatively, in order to have my local installation fixed, I developed the following small patch: Index: mainwindow.cpp =================================================================== --- mainwindow.cpp (revision 6858) +++ mainwindow.cpp (working copy) @@ -842,6 +842,9 @@ minuteTimer.setSingleShot (true); minuteTimer.start (ms_to_next_minute ()); + // https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt5/+bug/1307619 + menuBar()->setNativeMenuBar(false); + // this must be the last statement of constructor if (!m_valid) throw std::runtime_error {"Fatal initialization exception"}; } However, with this change, the menu is always shown, irrespective of QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME value, even under the default desktop, Gnome Unity. *am* -- Andrea Montefusco IW0HDV ------------------------------------------ As my old boss, an Apollo veteran, would often remind us “It’s good to be smart, but it’s better to be lucky.” Wayne Hale, Space Shuttle Flight Director ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
