Paul,
I hope this bottom posted email goes. If not perhaps I am somehow
maxing out memory.
alt+T gives nothing, but perhaps something here might give you a clue
as to my problem:
johwhi@whitelaw:~$ cd /usr/share/lyx/ui
johwhi@whitelaw:/usr/share/lyx/ui$ ls
default.ui stdcontext.inc stdmenus.inc stdtoolbars.inc
johwhi@whitelaw:/usr/share/lyx/ui$
I am attaching my default.ui file in case that shows something. It shows:
Toolbars
"standard" "on,top"
"view/update" "on,top"
"extra" "on,top,samerow"
"review" "auto,review,top"
"vcs" "off,top"
"table" "auto,table,bottom"
"math_panels" "auto,math,bottom"
"math" "auto,math,bottom"
"mathmacrotemplate" "auto,mathmacrotemplate,bottom"
"ipa" "auto,ipa,bottom"
"minibuffer" "auto,minibuffer,bottom"
"documentation" "off,top"
End
Any other suggestions are appreciated. I wonder if perhaps something
might be wrong with my computer.
John
I want to make sure we are on the same page about one key thing: what
you are missing is the main /menu bar/ (File menu etc.), not the top
/tool bar/, correct?
The toolbars section of default.ui controls which toolbars display by
default. Earlier in the default.ui file, you'll see a line saying
'Include "stdmenus.inc"'. That loads the file that controls menus, and
you can see in the "ls" output that it is present in the directory.
Check that the directory ~/.lyx/ui is empty. If not, you may have a
broken UI file be loaded in preference to the default one.
Assuming that's not the case, try running LyX from a terminal with the
command "lyx -dbg init". There will be a pile of messages in the
terminal window. In particular, you should see the following (or
something very close):
frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3058): About to read default...
frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3108): Found default in
/usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3058): About to read stdmenus.inc...
frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3108): Found stdmenus.inc in
/usr/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc
If you don't get the message about reading stdmenus.inc, then the
preceding messages may tell us something about what's broken.
