It appears to be a permissions issue preventing these menus from displaying.
Here's a work around. If you launch dbeaver from the command line using sudo, the menus do work: sudo /usr/share/dbeaver/dbeaver Apparently, something changed in Ubuntu 13.10 to where now this exact same dbeaver deb installer installs in a manner in which dbeaver cannot access all of its prerequisites when launched as a regular non-sudo user. Unfortunately, this work-around isn't perfect; any previous dbeaver settings, that were saved in your user account's home folder won't be accessed when launching dbeaver this way. You'll have to set all settings from scratch or some how copy your local user settings to the correct root location that gets queried during this sudo-launch of the application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218687 Title: Top-Panel Menus Won't Drop Down for Dbeaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eclipse/+bug/1218687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
