Since Ubuntu 13.04, and now 13.10 and 14.04, my Nautilus (Files) has no application menu.
This means that I can't access Edit>Preferences and can only change preferences via dconf-editor, as the 'show hidden files' option keeps turning itself on.
No, it's not hidden in the global menu, whether the global menu is disabled in settings or not.
I've spent hours searching Google for an answer and tried every suggestion, including:
-
Reinstall Nautilus, removing the ~/.config/nautilus and ~/.config/nautilus-actions folders
-
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= nautilus
-
Installing the appmenu list of programs
-
Removing the appmenu list of programs
Can anyone help?
