[Bug 1230172] Re: gnome-calculator menu unreachable when "global menu" is off

 

I found this can be changed via dconf, for those of you (like me) who
don't use Gnome or Unity and can't access this hidden menu

$ dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/button-mode "'basic'"; gnome-calculator
$ dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/button-mode "'advanced'"; gnome-calculator
$ dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/button-mode "'programming'"; gnome-calculator
$ dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/button-mode "'financial'"; gnome-calculator

Title:
  gnome-calculator menu unreachable when "global menu" is off

Status in gnome-calculator package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The "Ubuntu's new Enhanced Menu project"[1] aims to add the option of
  choosing whether you want the "Global menu" or not.

  Due to a faulty upgrade, my Ubuntu 13.04 desktop turned out to be
  missing the indicator-appmenu (and dependencies). And without those,
  there was no global menu.

  That wasn't a problem for me, until I found out that I couldn't put
  the gnome-calculator back into PROGRAMMING mode because it had no menu
  to do so [2].

  I tried to hack around a bit in the code, but I didn't get very far.
  See patch attempt in [2].

  Kind regards,
