Hi, so I finally spend some time again on this. Since I could not get the menus to work under standard Ubuntu Unity 16.04 I thought maybe it's not the snap but something that does not agree within the desktop manager.
So I simply installed ubuntu-mate-desktop and logged into standard mate. Then I rebuild the IPE application with three variants of plugs. I.e., in https://github.com/dietmarw/snaps/blob/master/ipe/snapcraft.yaml#L59 With: 1. plugs: [x11, home] 2. plugs: [unity7, home] 3. plugs: [x11, unity7, home] The result? ALL of those build worked flawlessly under Ubuntu Mate whilst under standard Ubuntu Unity (on the very same machine I get: 1. plugs: [x11, home] > ipe doesn't launch but also no errors in the terminal 2. plugs: [unity7, home] > ipe launches without menu 3. plugs: [x11, unity7, home] > ipe launches without menu Since ipe doesn't use any unity speciific stuff the right plug should actually be simply x11 (and as the FAQ pointed out https://github.com/otfried/ipe-wiki/wiki/FAQ#ipe-doesnt-work-correctly-on-ubuntu even when run natively one needs to remove the appmenu-qt5 package to get the menu). Question that still stands is why although appmenu-qt5 is NOT present, IPE would run when natively compiled (also under Unity) but only under non-unity desktop when build as a snap. Any idea how to explain this behaviour? /Dietmar/ On 29 July 2016 at 16:01, Dietmar Winkler <dietmar.wink...@dwe.no> wrote: > Thanks for the pointer.
