Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? It just dissappeard, and did not come back. Otherwise, VirtualBox works fine.

Copy and paste this command into the terminal:

initctl restart unity-panel-service

does that bring the menu bar back?

[spbach1234]

No unfortunately. It is still gone. Restarting does not help.

Thanks

To be clear the bar you are talking about is the one that has the x, minus and maximize buttons on it right?

[spbach1234]

No, I am talking about the one with the start, new and settings buttons. In my screenshot they are missing.

Please go into the following file and make sure that both say true then save and exit.

XML config is located in: ~/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml

sudo -H home/username/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml

<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/Toolbar" value="true"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="GUI/Statusbar" value="true"/>

I hope the file is still located their I can not confirm it on the system I am on at the moment.

Make sure that you have virtualbox completely shut down before you do the above procedure.

Thanks for confirming the file is still in the same location.

WOOT! fixed! I did not have the status bar option, but toolbar was false. It is fixed now.

Thanks for your time!
