I wonder if perhaps something might be wrong with my computer. John I want to make sure we are on the same page about one key thing: what you are missing is the main /menu bar/ (File menu etc.), not the top /tool bar/, correct? The toolbars section of default.ui controls which toolbars display by default. Earlier in the default.ui file, you'll see a line saying 'Include "stdmenus.inc"'. That loads the file that controls menus, and you can see in the "ls" output that it is present in the directory. Check that the directory ~/.lyx/ui is empty. If not, you may have a broken UI file be loaded in preference to the default one. Assuming that's not the case, try running LyX from a terminal with the command "lyx -dbg init". There will be a pile of messages in the terminal window. In particular, you should see the following (or something very close): frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3058): About to read default... frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3108): Found default in /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3058): About to read stdmenus.inc... frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (3108): Found stdmenus.inc in /usr/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc If you don't get the message about reading stdmenus.inc, then the preceding messages may tell us something about what's broken.

The first entry on the right is the user interface file. Unless you've futzed with it, it probably says "default". Try browsing to /usr/share/lyx/ui and selecting default.ui. Hopefully that will restore the missing menu.

There are two different pathologies here (likely unrelated), the missing top toolbar and the "not readable" error message referring to the desktop file. My comment about the system menu was related to the latter. I don't use Debian (I'm on Mint), but if you have a button that you use to launch a menu of available programs, that's what I mean. You mentioned using the command line or a "LyX icon". Do you get the error message both ways or just using the icon? As far as the top toolbar goes, is it actually the /top toolbar/ you are missing (buttons for selecting environments, creating/opening files, applying italics and other fun stuff) or the /menu bar/ (File menu, Edit menu etc.)? The subject line says toolbar but you mentioned "menu bar". Paul -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: top tool bar not available
Thank you Paul very much for the suggestion. It caused me to think that something might be wrong with permissions. So I opened lyx in root and the top tool bar shows. It only doesn't show when I open it on a regular, non-root command line or from the lyx icon. I am not sure where the system menu is. Lyx can be used without the top menu bar but it will only print to one pdf version. John On Wednesday, December 21, 2022 11:09:52 AM PST Paul A.

This is what I get now when trying to open Lyx: /usr/share/applications/lyx.desktop is not a readable LYX document. Any suggestions? John Are you launching LyX from a terminal or from the system menu. If the menu, try editing the system menu entry. I would not be surprised if it somehow ended up using the command "lyx /usr/share/.../lyx.desktop", which would launch LyX and try to open the desktop file as a document.
