What operating system are you on? I saw something like this a long time ago on Ubuntu and the following fixed it for me: sudo apt-get remove appmenu-qt5 Here is the thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=mid=CAO7dr0hxjaR-heXCPN%2BPdvWa37ckVKqRnY-Co1dH8YuVj-KXFQ%40mail.gmail.com I doubt that issue is still around, but just thought I'd throw out another shot in the dark.

Re: Top toolbar missing after switching from debian 10 to debian 11 (bullseye)
Hi Doc, Using your suggestion, Lyx seems to work just fine. Different from what I am used to. I will use it this way and let you know if I run into problems. Teaching an old dog some new tricks is problematic. Thanks!

Re: Top toolbar missing after switching from debian 10 to debian 11 (bullseye)
John, what happens if you right-click on one of the toolbars? "Standard" should be ticked. el On 12/05/2022 18:56, John White wrote: The main lyx tool bar is gone, the one with File, Edit, View, Insert, Navigate, Document, Tools, Help.

So you mean menu, right? > Any thoughts on how I might get it back? For starter I would try: 1. Alt+x//(you should get command buffer active, so you can write the command bellow, altenatively access via alt+v, b, Command Buffer ) 2. ui-toggle menubar//enable menu Exit and launch lyx again to see whether menubar stays visible. If not, exit all lyx instances and try removing ~/.config/LyX/lyx.conf. If that does not help, check whether you dont have specific ui in user settings (e.g. try to rename ~/.lyx to e.g. ~/.lyx.old and laucnh lyx). If that does not help, what kind of desktop manager do you have? (Some very old versions of Ubuntu's Unity was playing nasty tricks with menu, this might be something similar).

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.
