After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04, I have a bug that drives my furious. LyX - the document processor - disables all menu items in the top panel. I already removed the .lyx directory in ~ and reconfigured the software but it still fails. You can see a screenshot of my problem.

Thanks, for your help !

It was annoying me as well and surprisingly I had to search more than usual for a solution. I got the best solutions from this bug report.

tl;dr the real solution comes from installing indicator-appmenu from the proposed repository:

  • add proposed repository, there is an option to use only selected packages if you want.
  • sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu/vivid-proposed

simple workarounds:

  • press alt then write 'settings' once in lyx.

  • Another option is to run lyx this way:

    QT_X11_NO_NATIVE_MENUBAR=1 lyx
