Ubuntu – How to get back menu bar in Kile after switching to LXDE

kilelxdemenu

I switched from Gnome/Unity to LXDE on my netbook because it has only 1 GB RAM. Now the Kile window has no menu bar. How does one get it back?

This does not affect all KDE applications – for example, Kate does have a menu bar.

Best Answer

In ~/.kde/share/config/kilerc, look for the section [KileMainWindow], and within that look for the line menubar=Disabled. Change Disabled to Enabled or delete this line.

Thanks to @fossfreedom for suggesting looking in ~/.kde/share/config/kilerc.

Disable any globalmenu extension, then in the terminal type:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
dconf-editor

Navigate to org/globalmenu and uncheck enabled. Log out and log back in.

Ubuntu – Why are KDE apps running on unity too slow to load

You could say that yes, Evince and Gedit use GTK libraries, these are already loaded by the rest of the environment. Launching the KDE software means launching more libraries which take more time because they're not already being used by other software.

I wouldn't add anything to autostart as it will probably slow it down, once they're loaded when you open one your KDE programs you're good to go.
