On Ubuntu 15.04 Unity, how can I enable the global menu bar for the Qt application RStudio?
I found a 12.04 question, which was not solved and did not contain a clue.
(Due to reputation issues, I could not add the RStudio tag).

Both solutions don't seem to work under Ubuntu 16.04 and the recent RStudio Version 0.99.903 any longer. :( Is there a new solution for the actual Version? – YetanotherQuestion Oct 31 '16 at 13:05

edit:
It is reported (see comments), that Ubuntu 16.04 and/or RStudio release 0.99.467 (using Qt5) or later do not support the following solution any more. See also the answer of lyz1990.
I found a solution on the RStudio forum (here). The issue has reported several times (e.g. here and here).
To enable the appmenu-qt for RStudio, link the qt4 menubar to the rstudio library folder. Run the following commands in a terminal:
cd /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/plugins/menubar
Then (close and) start rstudio. This is how it looks like:

Your command seems incomplete (the
lncommand usually takes two arguments). Typo? – muru Feb 23 '15 at 10:55 -

man lnand see the 2nd form. The link name is optional. It is taken from the target name. – setempler Feb 23 '15 at 12:37 -
1Indeed. I'd still use third or first forms and skip the
cd:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/plugins/menubar /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/plugins. – muru Feb 23 '15 at 12:39 -
Usually I do use it your way, but a line break does not look so nice in the code block... – setempler Feb 23 '15 at 12:40

For recent versions of Rstudio with Qt5:
cd /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/plugins/platformthemes
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platformthemes/libappmenu-qt5.so libappmenu-qt5.so
