Hi,

Just compiled a fresh str-metrics under kubuntu 14.04 (Qt4.8) and there is
no menubar. This is actually the same for Firefox but there I can press Alt
key to show it. Under Lyx, nothing... Alt+F just print 'f'...

Just for completeness. Ubuntu package 2.0.7 does not have this issue.

I guess you use the unity crap, right? ;)

No, plain KDE. But I will try the cited workarounds in this link.

None of these seems to work...

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 (for both the str-metrics and
master branches).

For me, toggling fullscreen on and off fixes the problem:
lyx -x "command-sequence ui-toggle fullscreen; ui-toggle fullscreen"

Or more simply:
lyx -x "ui-toggle menubar"

I guess the menu bar is not chosen correctly? Reading the comment in
Menus.cpp makes it sounds like it is tricky to get correct.

Does anyone have advice on how to debug this?

Does one have to do this every time?

Yes (or use an alias). I guess that's good in the sense that it's 100%
reproducible.

There appears to be a bug in the appmenu-qt5 package. The menu bar
comes back after
sudo apt-get remove appmenu-qt5

See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt5/+bug/1307619
If anyone is experiencing the bug, please add yourself to the "me too"
list (there are only 5 of us so far).
