Menubar missing

Steps to reproduce the problem: I don't know

What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible: The toolbar with the file, edit, view, and help tabs doesn't exist. I don't know why.

Information about the software:

Deadbeef version: 1.9.6 OS: Endeavour os (Arch linux based distro)

Log: https://pastebin.com/nyAGNe7w

Desktop enviorment: Kde plasma Window manager: Wayland

The toolbar with the file, edit, view, and help tabs doesn't exist. I don't know why.

It is what people usually call "menu bar", correct?

If it has anything to do with deadbeef settings -- you can either delete the config, or you can search for menu-related options in the configuration file (~/.config/deadbeef/config), and maybe you'll get some new ideas.

Yes, that's what I meant.

I tried to completely nuke my install. I deleted everything related to deadbeef (I.e. configs, install, etc..) I downloaded the tar.bz2 and unzipped it. I then ran the deadbeef file, but the menubar was still missing. This is the config it generated:

Can you post a screenshot of:

1. deadbeef running without the menu
2. another GTK app running with the menu?

I can't explain why this happens, but I can suggest one thing:

Open deadbeef settings, and check which UI is selected -- GTK2 or GTK3. Try changing to the other one, and restart deadbeef. Maybe this is the culprit.

I can't access the deadbeef settings because the menubar is missing. Is there a shortcut of some sort I can use to access settings? (Even manually adding it?) Thanks!

Note: I am running wayland

You can run deadbeef from command line, and specify the ui from there. I believe it should look like --gui GTK2 or --gui GTK3

I opened deadbeef with --gui GTK2 and it now works, even when I'm not running it through cmd. Huh, how odd. (I ran it using ./deadbeef --gui GTK2). Thanks for your help!
