@kde I’ve been using Global Menu for a while, but since it is less and less supported, I’ve finally removed the widget.

However, I did not get the local menu back! Now all my KDE apps have no menu at all.

I thought that restarting the session would fix it, but it did not help. Anybody has any hint on how to fix this?

    @pretzel6666@c.im I know this isn’t entirely related to your post, but there was some stuff a while back trying to get LIMs (like unity) in KDE. maybe go and give these (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375951, https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/126/commits) some attention? If we can show that enough people want this kind of stuff, maybe it’ll get some attention from people who know how to implement it.

    @pretzel6666 @kde it’s a classic issue which I thought was already fixed. Are you using plasma 5?

    In any case, check your config files and you should see a Menubar setting which need to be enabled again 😔

      @carl @kde no I’m on a recently updated kde neon. But my config files have been transferred from one install to the other for many years.

      What is maybe special, is that I remove two global menu widgets in one go, as I have two screens.

      Anyways, sounds like it is time for a big grep exploration!

        @carl @kde Oh LOL, do I need to change all of them manually?

        [130|18:08|paulite23|.config]$ find . -type f -name \*rc -exec grep -i menubar --color \{\} /dev/null \;

          @pretzel6666 @kde Just use sed ;)

          find ~/.config -iname ‘*rc’ -exec sed -i ‘/Menubar=/d’ {} \;

          This should work but you might want to execute the sed command on one file first before running it everywhere as I am on my phone and didn’t test it 😅
