Menu missing again in Ubuntu 16.04
« on: August 18, 2016, 12:43:11 am »
Hello there,

I am just giving Code::Blocks a try in Ubuntu 16.04 following this tutorial:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/WxSmith_tutorial:_Hello_world

But I found the problem described here:

Quote
If you are using Ubuntu and get no main menu bar when you run this program, you have fallen victim to Ubuntu bug 662077. Beginning with release 10.10, Ubuntu releases have had a bug causing programs built with wxSmith to fail to show their main menu bar. If this bug affects you, you may want to uninstall appmenu-gtk. You do that by clicking Applications | Software Sources, then using the search window to find appmenu-gtk. Clicking on it will allow you to choose to remove it.

Unluckily, there is no such appmenu-gtk package available for Ubuntu 16.04 and I haven't found anything that could solve this problem. I am using wxWidgets 3.0 in my project, and I have installed all related libraries, I think.

codeblocks-contrib/xenial,now 13.12+dfsg-4 amd64 [installed]
libwxbase3.0-0v5/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libwxbase3.0-0v5-dbg/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libwxbase3.0-dev/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libwxgtk3.0-0v5/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed]
libwxgtk3.0-0v5-dbg/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed]
libwxgtk3.0-dev/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed]
wx-common/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
wx3.0-headers/xenial,now 3.0.2+dfsg-1.3 amd64 [installed,automatic]

I don't know what to do next. Any advice is welcomed.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Report this problem to ubuntu developers. Try wxwidgets samples to see if they work correctly. Debug.

Thanks for your reply.

Now, this is embarrassing, after a while looking for the menu I just realized it was in the status bar, where it is intended to be, instead within the window where I was looking for it.

So no bug at all.

Excuse me for the confusion.
