All, I have nothing to contribute to the discussion of licensing (I am not a lawyer). But isn't it significant that a major university (which has been ranked #1 in Australia and #31 worldwide) is interested in making LyX available in all its computer labs?

I suspect the reason your menus are AWOL is that the .ui file being used is trying to load stdmenus.inc from the root > ... directory and not finding it. If true, that means you will also presumably be lacking the toolbars. If you change the UI selection to /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui, save and restart LyX, does it start with the menu visible?

Thanks, John Does alt+T open the Tools menu even though it is not visible? If so, go to Preferences ... > Look & Feel > User Interface and see what is set for "User interface file". If it is not "default", try choosing the default UI file (probably located at /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui). If it is set to the default, and assuming the default is at the above address, make sure that there is a file named stdmenus.inc in the same folder. If yes, open that file in a text editor and make sure it has a section named Menubar listing the menus you are missing. If you can't get to the Tools menu, check your local UI folder (~/.lyx/ui) and see if there is a .ui file in it. If so, rename that to something else (.bak?), restart LyX, and see if that helps.

Re: Top toolbar missing after switching from debian 10 to debian 11 (bullseye)
Thanks SteveT F11 just minimizes the current screen and shows all other running applications. It does not bring back the top menu.

I'd rather make a stupid suggestion than make a stupid mistake. Just for fun, press the F11 key to toggle "full screen". If that doesn't bring back the menu, you'll have wasted 10 seconds.

Top toolbar missing after switching from debian 10 to debian 11 (bullseye)
The main lyx tool bar is gone, the one with File, Edit, View, Insert, Navigate, Document, Tools, Help. Any thoughts on how I might get it back? Thanks, John -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
