System information

Please provide information about your system and the version of Clementine used.

Operating System: Ubuntu 2020.04 LTS
Clementine version: 1.4rc1

Expected behaviour / actual behaviour

The "visualization" menu item is greyed out. Seems impossible to activate it...

Steps to reproduce the problem (only for bugs)

Looks like the Ubuntu maintainer disabled this and the comment indicates that it's temporary.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/clementine/+changelog

  [ Thomas Pierson ]
  * New upstream release.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.5.0.
  * Enable parallel building in debian/rules. (Closes: #912826)
  * Update debian/copyright file.
  * Disable ProjectM visualization module and remove the build-depend on
    libprojectm-dev for now because this library will be removed from unstable
    soon following the Qt4 removal.

And it looks like ProjectM did drop their Qt4 dependencies, so maybe it'll be re-enabled in the next build. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/projectm

In the meantime, you can use the latest official Clementine builds that should have it enabled. https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/releases/tag/1.4.0rc1-279-g76a24a0a2

Also on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and it's working great with 1.4.0rc1-350 using the .deb package and installed through the Software Installer.

I'm on Debian Bullseye 11 latest stable release sadly it comes with 1.4.0~rc1+git347-gfc4cb6fc7+dfsg-1+b1 version that has visualization disabled yet. I've looked for a .deb package for Bullseye in this release page but there isn't one, please could you make a Clementine release for Bullseye I'll appreciate really a lot.

THANK YOU! I've been re-visiting this issue off and on for months, with no success until now. Installing the older .deb file worked great. Thank you!
