Public bug reported: Apparently the package appmenu-qt5 interferes with the ability to use the keyboard shortcuts in the ipe drawing program, if ipe is compiled with qt5.
Workarounds apparently include recompiling ipe to use qt4, or removing the appmenu-qt5 from the system. I chose to remove appmenu-qt5, but I may suffer issues with other qt5 software because of that, I'm not sure. The issue is known to the primary ipe developer, per https://github.com/otfried/ipe-issues/issues/42 ipe becomes virtually unusable without keyboard shortcuts. ================================= $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 $ apt-cache policy ipe ipe: Installed: 7.1.10-1.1 Candidate: 7.1.10-1.1 Version table: *** 7.1.10-1.1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: ipe 7.1.10-1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.39-generic 4.4.8 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl nvidia_uvm nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon May 16 12:50:07 2016 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/ipe SourcePackage: ipe UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-03-25 (52 days ago) ** Affects: ipe (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582329 Title: Keyboard shortcuts missing/inoperable in ipe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipe/+bug/1582329/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
