I am on Ubuntu 9.10, KDE4 and Amarok 2.2.3 and I cannot seem to bring back the menubar. I have seen other forum posts that suggest ctrl+m but it does not seem to work.

Maybe something related to this topic? brainstorm.php#idea86530_page1

Right-click on the system tray icon does not have a "settings" option either. Any ideas how I can bring back the menubar?

I guess you are using Gnome, then Ctrl+m might indeed not work. Close Amarok and try erasing the configuration files in $HOME/.kde/share/config/, they all start with amarok*. This should solve the problem.

Actually, I am using KDE4. I'll check my key mappings to see if ctrl+m has been overloaded. What should it be mapped ?

I tried deleting amarok* under .kde/share/apps and .kde/share/config - neither seems to do the trick. Finally I renamed my .kde directory (I had only a couple of configs and apps to restore prefs for, so it wasn't a big deal) and it restored the menubar.

Could the configs have been in some other directory?

So your using Kubuntu, not Ubuntu, it would have help to be precise about that.

Possible the configuration is somewhere else in $HOME/.kde/share/config/, I just don't know where precisely. Be aware that erasing the folders in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/ erases your database, including the ratings and statistics. I hope you did a backup before erasing it.

I thought I did . Nevertheless, I'll put in Kubuntu explicitly in future posts.

I have not used this machine much, so no harm done. In the future, I'll try to be a little less brutal.
