Don't see application menu #106

Closed t0msk closed 6 years ago

t0msk commented 7 years ago

Hello, please is application menu working? I am using KDE Neon, and I don't see application menu.

fezu54 commented 7 years ago

You have to use the version from Github. The version from KDE Store does not include support for Global Menu.

kotelnik commented 7 years ago

That's right, thanks fezu. I'll just add that when you use github version (or proper package from distro), you need to remove KDE Store version of the widget so it can work properly.

I have this error, when cmake:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" (requested
  version 0.0.11) with any of the following names:

    ECMConfig.cmake
    ecm-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR"
  to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "ECM" provides a
  separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

@kotelnik please can you help me? :/

fezu54 commented 7 years ago

You need to install the 'extra-cmake-module' package of your distribution to be able to build the applet. I guess you also need to install some qt5-dev and kf5-dev packages as dependencies. I don't want to be harsh, but do you think it is a good idea to install a self compiled version from Github if you weren't be able to solve problems like these yourself?

kotelnik commented 6 years ago

...but one can also learn :). I should write required packages to README.

Yes, package 'extra-cmake-modules' is required and then probably these, too:

libqt5-qtbase-devel
libqt5-qtdeclarative-devel
plasma-framework-devel

Their names can vary in various distributions. Please tell me what's your distribution and I'll try to advise the proper packages to install.

t0msk commented 6 years ago

@fezu54 I dont have any otner option, because I Active Window Control in KDE store is old (app menu is not working), so I want to have the latest version.

@kotelnik I installed extra-cmake-modules, but packages **libqt5-* are not found in repo and plasma-framework-devel** too. Interesting Because I use KDE Neon and KDE is based on Qt.

fezu54 commented 6 years ago

It's because the packages are named different in Ubuntu. Try sudo apt install cmake extra-cmake-modules qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libkf5iconthemes-dev libkf5plasma-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5declarative-dev libkf5xmlgui-dev libkf5activities-dev build-essential libxcb-util-dev libkf5wayland-dev libkf5archive-dev libkf5notifications-dev libxcb-util0-dev libsm-dev libkf5crash-dev

t0msk commented 6 years ago

@fezu54 thanks, it works :)

But still no menu --> https://i.imgur.com/o2ebpyh.png

kotelnik commented 6 years ago

Please make sure that:

~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ does not contain org.kde.activeWindowControl directory
there is only one AWC widget added to your panels
there is zero Global Menu widgets added to your panels
System Settings -> Application Style -> Widget Style -> Fine Tuning -> Menubar -> Menubar style is set to Application Menu widget

t0msk commented 6 years ago

@kotelnik There is no Menubar style, other points are ok.

kotelnik commented 6 years ago

Oh, I see, you seem to have KDE Neon LTS Edition, is that correct? This contains stable (but also older) packages, that does not support global menu widgets. For that you need e.g. a different flavour of KDE Neon, like the User Edition.

t0msk commented 6 years ago

@kotelnik So I switched to another VM, now I have KDE Neon (5.10) User Edition and still nothing.

kotelnik commented 6 years ago

Just to be sure, hovering the widget with your mouse does not display the menu?

t0msk commented 6 years ago

@kotelnik ah great, it works, when hover :)

Thank you very much

albertzubkowicz commented 4 years ago

on current KDE Neon it still doesn't work. I'm not using kde-look.org package. Also, the buttons adjustments is a hell of a mess.

trmdi commented 4 years ago

@albertzubkowicz Use applets by psifidotos. This one has been dropped for a long time.

yell0w4x commented 4 years ago

With kde plasma 5.12.9 I have same issue, I've checked everything you notified. Looks like menubar style is set automatically for now accordingly to this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/429296/in-application-menu-bar-in-kde-plasma-5-12. I have no such an option.

Unfortunately, the app menu is not shown. First I installed the instance from kde repo, but after read this topic. I uninstalled it and build the one from github. But it doesn't work(

trmdi commented 4 years ago

@yell0w4x Read my comment above.

yell0w4x commented 4 years ago

@trmdi Thanx, I tried them before. They worked perfectly for me except one thing due to I refused them. I described it here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1220186/kde5-plasma-move-maximized-window-with-title-hidden-by-grabbing-top-application. Is that somehow possible?

trmdi commented 4 years ago

Yes, it possible if you use a Latte panel.

yell0w4x commented 4 years ago

Thank you, man

yell0w4x commented 4 years ago

You mean https://github.com/KDE/latte-dock?

trmdi commented 4 years ago

Yes, the name doesn't say it all. It can be used as a panel.
