Global Menu Not Working For Octopi

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

Greetings,

After one of the last Octopi updates I noticed that it no longer displays the global menu next to its title in the top panel. I did some quick searching and found nothing overly relevant to this issue. Because of this, I can no longer access any of the search utilities it provides (at least, not with the window decorations I am using). I also checked the help menu within Octopi, but none of the shortcuts it provides can access any of these functionalities. Any help would be appreciated.

Try an x11 session at login as opposed to wayland.
I believe Global Menu is broken in KDE 6, but only in Wayland.

The swoosh indicates a reboot is in order. Please do so now. That may or may not impact your problem.

Not really.
Vanilla Arch/KDE (wayland) w/o issues.
KaOS (stock in a VM) w/o issues:

KaOS
KaOS1396×788 142 KB

I just tested simple things briefly (I’m busy).
Garuda dr460nized:
All theming set to standard breeze: issue persist
Delete Garuda Default Top Panel and recreate: issue persist
Replace with default KDE application menu bar: issue persist

If anyone has the desire and time to narrow down the problem further, then do it :slight_smile:

Edit: aaah…kvantum^^
My Arch and KaOS only have kvantum-qt6 installed. Garuda dr460nized currently has kvantum and kvantum-qt5. I don’t have a Garuda dr460nized VM to test right now.
Who plays the guinea pig?

@NuclearDragon I haven’t tested it, but with kvantum-qt6-git it should work. Try this (at your own risk). :slight_smile:

Working fine on my AMD hardware. As @filo mentioned, Nvidia users are currently better off with using X11 (select it from the lower left corner on the login screen).

6

Wasn’t the issue, I’ve noticed this problem between updates/reboots as well.

7

I don’t really see what it has to do with nvidia, it is only affecting octopi, it works just fine for most other applications (i.e. the kde ones in particular are fine)

8

So it’s not kvantum’s fault, I just tested it with kvantum-qt6-git: issue persist.

Are there any logs when launching it from the command line?

I switched back to X11 for this reason. Octopi and Inkscape (which makes it not usable) are two that don’t work with Global Menus under Wayland.

I have no problems with Gobal Menu and Octopi nor any application GTK nor QT
I have to say in preparation for Plasma 6, I replaced all QT 5 plasma things with their Plasma 6 equivalents, that included de-dragonize my DE.
I chose another theme and applied Global Menu and bottom panel (dock) with only plasma 6 stuff.
This might be useful to you or not. YMMV

No relevant errors are thrown (just something about using a variable width font in terminal). Furthermore, switching to x11 does bring back global menu (including the little underlines below the relevant letter for the alt+key shortcuts) but the shortcuts to navigate said menus do not work. I will also likely remain using x11 as I have an older nvidia card whose driver is no longer supported.
