This is straight from my saved notes:
Performing the below in Konsole, and then reboot to have the Menu Bars back.
cd ~/.config
sed -i ‘s/MenuBar=Disabled/MenuBar=Enabled/’ *rc
I wasn’t able to respond yesterday because my account was new and I ran out of replies
No dice unfortunately
And I realized I’m missing menu bars across the board. In programs like LibreOffice and OBS
I will try then when I get home from work and let you know. Thank you.
Do you use something like a global menu plasmoid or the Window Titlebar Applications button?

Can you check if the issue also happens in a new user?

… not that I’m aware of? I’m using the default settings for my window decorations
I created a new user, I’m the only person using my computer so I didn’t think of that 
And I have the menu toggle as well in the new user
And Ctrl+M does in fact work
So that means SOMETHING is messed up with my user account
Just my luck 
And yes, the menu is visible in other programs too

Well that is good news I think. When you mentioned you missed menu bars in LibreOffice I feared you had a more broken System.
Looks like its just a wrong/broken config or other user issue (atleast not system wide 
)
Well, it’s good that we now have an idea of what’s going on!
Bad because I haven’t the foggiest how to fix it XD
I’m not very good at parsing things like event logs or config files, but if there’s anything I can copy/paste here to see what’s going on, I can definitely do that!
Just tried this
still no menu bars
Unlikely that this is it but can you post the output of cat ~/.config/konsolerc and cat ~/.config/dolphinrc so I can crosscheck with my settings?

Well kinda good news: your config files match your setting of not having menu bars (that’s good news, nothing looks broken!). Now we just have to figure out WHY.
For testing purposes can you add MenuBar=Enabled to ~/.config/konsolerc in the [MainWindow] Section, start Konsole and see if that worked?
For reference my settings files
with menu bar disabled:
Konsole:
[MainWindow]
MenuBar=Disabled
Dolphin:
[MainWindow]
MenuBar=Disabled
MenuBar enabled:
Konsole:
[MainWindow]
MenuBar=Enabled
Dolphin:
[MainWindow]
Do I just use something like Kate to open the file and change it?
Yes any text editor should work fine
used Kate to edit the file. Added the line. It does show up when i use cat ~/.config/konsolerc in the konsole
however still no menubar in Dolphin
And i do not have the menu bar in other programs either still
you can see i the screenshot here that the line “MenuBar=Enabled” is in the file, and yet… no menu bar
Did you restart Konsole? This was just for Konsole.
I thought I did but i might have not? I thought logging out and back in would do the trick, but maybe there’s a terminal command I should be using instead?
I’ve really been trying to learn more about Linux, but there’s a fairly big learning curve for me, and though I’m better than I was 6 months ago, there’s still plenty of things I genuinely don’t know how to do or am unsure about
- Start a new Konsole Window.
- Check If the MenuBar is there
- Check if the konsolerc file still has the Menubar=Enabled in it
No need to worry. Nobody knows everything about their Operating System, no matter which OS they use. Even Developers or people that use the same Operating System for 20+ Years. There is always something new!
so… of course my laptop decided to shut itself off when i moved it
I may have switched primary OS’s but apparently my crazy computer luck of “weird out there problems that stump people” is completely unaffected! 
Since my laptop restarted, Konsole was definitely restared, and unfortunately, though it says the menu bar is enabled, it’s somehow still not there
