Nautilus missing menubar in 12.10

rated 0 times [ 6] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 9273 / 2 Years ago, mon, july 4, 2022, 10:37:37

I installed gnome-shell right away, and then i noticed that Nautilus main menubar (File, Edit and such menus) is missing. It does not appear inside the File Manager window nor on the "global menubar". (also happens on Unity).

I googled arround, but nothing solved my problem. Things i tried:

Purge the appmenu-gtk, appmenu-gtk3, appmenu-qt and indicator-appmenu packages

Issue this command on terminal

Look for globalmenu in dconf-editor: Could not find it

How can i solve that?

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, gnome-shell 3.6.1, Nautilus 3.6
Also, I used the gnome3-team repository to install Gnome-Shell

This is completely normal. Since you've activated the gnome3-team PPA, you have the latest version of Nautilus which follows GNOME 3 human interface guidelines (more information here and here).

To access the application menu, clic on the application name on the top bar.

Nautilus 3.6 application menu

You will see the same behaviour with other GNOME 3 software like Epiphany (Web), Empathy or Boxes for example.

I suggest you learn how to use this new version of Nautilus. But if you can't stand it anymore, you can go back to the previous version by purging the gnome3-team PPA (be careful, this will affect every other software provided by the PPA) :

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

sudo ppa-purge ppa:<nom_du_dépôt>
