After update to Kubuntu 12.10, I can no longer access configuration options in Kile from Settings->Configure kile (or whatever the menu entry was for configuration).

In fact, "Settings" menu has only five entries: "Define current document as master document", "System check", "Show side bar", "Show message bar", and "Toolbars shown."

I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.10 on one of my other computers, and same problem. I even tried adding the (unsupported) ppa:kile/stable, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

I need to access settings to set PDF Latex to use "modern" compilation mode, so that I can use synctex.

Try removing the user specific file for Kile. I had the same problem after I messed with the toolbars.

~$ rm ~/.kde/share/apps/kile/kileui.rc

These guys had the had the same problem. They suggest the folder ~/.kde4 where on my system 12.10 (64) it was in ~/.kde.

My installation of Kile lost the entries in the settings dialogue as soon as I changed one item in any of the toolbars. My solution for this might help you out as well.

It appeared I could avoid this by adding the button "Configure Kile" to a toolbar.

This approach retains your personalised toolbars.

My sytem: Kile 2.1.0 / KDE 4.9.4 @ Kubuntu 12.04

Another way of getting system settings back is by resetting your toolbar: right click the toolbar, select "Configure Toolbars...", and then click the "Defaults" button on the lower left.

I've found another solution for this...

vim ~/.kde/share/config/kilerc

there I edited the MainWindow configuration, just search the word MainWindow using

/KileMainWindow

and edited the keyword value named MenuBar. I founded it configured like this:

MenuBar=Disabled

after that I switched to able.

Saved the file, re-launch Kile and worked perfectly.
