Missing menus

[Derek Keats]

Just wondering if there is anyone here who uses Digikam on Ubuntu 16.10. When I open the photo editor for the first time, there is a menu, but if I close it an open it again, there is no menu. That is a bit of a show stopper. Has anyone else seen this and found a fix?

I have tried all the fixes that I can find mentioned in various forums. Nothing seems to work.

I use Digikam every day, so this is a killer for me, hence I will try ANYTHING at this stage, even a vague hint!

Thanks
Derek

Thank you Gilles, I should have said that. It is the latest 5.4.0 from the

PPA http://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra

IT has the following on the version screen 

Using:

• KDE Frameworks 5.26.0
• Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1)
• The xcb windowing system

Thanks

Same version here, no problem with menu.

Please try the 5.5.0 pre-version AppImage bundle for Linux :

OK. Will give it a try. 

I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I upgraded from 16.04, but it is mysterious. I just set up a clean 16.10 VM as well, so I will test it there. 

I will let you know if any of it works.

thanks

Unfortunately the appimage shows the same behaviour. Install the 5.5 appimage. Press F4 to open editor - the first time the menu is there, close the editor, and open it again, and there is no menu.

An install of 5.4.0 from the PPA onto a fresh virtual machine install of Ubuntu 16.10 gives exactly the same result.

Seems to be a bug of some sort!

Hello Derek

Are you talking about the menubar or the toolbar ? Regardless I have similar issues when use FullScreen mode. Sometimes either menubar or toolbar disappear, sometimes the window changes its size after exiting the full screen mode. I think there is a bug report on it in Bugzilla. Please chip in.

Cheers

Hi Andrey,

Easier to explain with images, so I will email off the list as the images make the mail bigger than the 80kb list limit. But I mean the menu.

ok

Just rename these files from your home directory :

Restart digiKam and try again.

I renamed ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5 and ~/.local/share/digikam and moved them outside .local. It does not solve the problem. When I started digikam 5.5 the folders came back, and 

  ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam

has the following files: 

kipiplugin_dropboxui.rc

kipiplugin_facebookui.rc

kipiplugin_flickrui.rc

kipiplugin_jalbumui.rc

kipiplugin_printimagesui.rc

kipiplugin_sendimagesui.rc

kipiplugin_wikimediaui.rc

There is no digikam.rc there.

Setting up a Kubuntu VM now to test there.

Just rename these files from your home directory :

~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam as *.old.

Restart digiKam and try again.

Unfortunately the appimage shows the same behaviour. Install the 5.5 appimage. Press F4 to open editor - the first time the menu is there, close the editor, and open it again, and there is no menu.

An install of 5.4.0 from the PPA onto a fresh virtual machine install of Ubuntu 16.10 gives exactly the same result.

Seems to be a bug of some sort!

Thank you Gilles, I should have said that. It is the latest 5.4.0 from the

PPA http://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra

IT has the following on the version screen 

Using:

• KDE Frameworks 5.26.0
• Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1)
• The xcb windowing system

Thanks

Just wondering if there is anyone here who uses Digikam on Ubuntu 16.10. When I open the photo editor for the first time, there is a menu, but if I close it an open it again, there is no menu. That is a bit of a show stopper. Has anyone else seen this and found a fix?

I have tried all the fixes that I can find mentioned in various forums. Nothing seems to work.

I use Digikam every day, so this is a killer for me, hence I will try ANYTHING at this stage, even a vague hint!

Thanks

Really. With AppImage 5.5.0 pre release too ? Impossible... The account store digiKam GUI menu structure into the hidden subfolder, as .rc file. If there is no one, the default one from application is used, else both are merged... And here, the default one work as expected...

I suspect that a merge between default and local rc file generate a corrupted XML file (yes GUI menu is managed with XML in background)...

Maybe i have a "brutal" solution.

I was a more or less happy Ubuntu user since several years, but Digikam
several times had various severe issues. Philip did a really great job and
i always managed to repair DK after a while, still this was annoying.
So some 2 month ago i switch to Manjaro where the newest DK version is in
the official repros and gets continously updated (with around 2 weeks
delay for testing). So far, without problems.
I won't yet say Manjaro is "better" than Ubuntu, ask me in some month :)
But you may try out in VM and see yourself.

And one of those files, is it not supposed to be digikam.rc ???

All the info I can find mentions that file, but it is not there, it is not created. 

I managed to get Kubuntu going but it is wonky in a VM, so not much news there.

This is also my work computer, so I can't abandon Ubuntu right now as my work applications are there and priority is how fast I can get work done. I may try it out on an older laptop though. 

I have always struggled with DK on Ubuntu but always got it working in the end, so I will keep trying. 

It has to have something to do with the file not being created.

the appimage is distribution agnostic. I use openSUSE and it should work
the same on ubuntu or any other kde
