sound-juicer preference dialogue missing running in 20.04TLS

Asked by Gary Aviv

I just upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and now the dropdown for sound-juicer on the top bar is missing the preference menu item making it impossible to configure the program. The menu no just shows:
   Sound Juicer
   New Window
   Quit

This is version 3.24.0-3

I am running X11 not Wayland.

What is the output of:

apt-cache policy sound-juicer; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

My advice would be to use a different ripper. sound-juicer was decent back in the GNOME 2.x days, but all they've been doing is ripping out options since then.

Try asunder or ripperx.

^So it seems this is a known issue.

I'll upload the latest version to my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/ubuntu/mediahacks2
That restored the config menu when I tried it in my Xubuntu 20.04 VM.
It may take some time to build.

Let me know how it works..

So did you try the package I built or not?

I'm afraid not. After your new build I have:

$ apt-cache policy sound-juicer
sound-juicer:
  Installed: 3.38.0-2mediahacks1
  Candidate: 3.38.0-2mediahacks1
  Version table:

     3.24.0-3 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages

Menu just shows:
  New window
    -------
  Quit

Thanks for all your effort

But wait, I noticed a hamburger on the right. When I click on it, a popup shows several options including preferences.
Clicking on Preferences brings up the configuration menu.

So, problem solved.

Thanks a lot.

hamburger on the right? Is this troll code?

In future, if you use a PPA then please count the PPA maintainer to report the issue. The packages from the official repository are consistent in features. PPA builds can be changed to whatever the maintainer needs so may cause issues

Sorry for my previous comment. I was totally confused about something else last night.
I'm glad the problem is solved.
