Looking for help with getting the menu back
I have completely lost access to the menu. There is no Menu Bar or Control bar and when I right click in the picture nothing happens there either.
I have uninstall it twice but it comes back exactly the same each time, I’m using Mate 18.04 with an i7 4790 CPU
Any help much appreciated
He @Gege,
Ctrl+P should bring up the VLC Preferences. Be sure VLC is selected when trying that. I see a "Reset Preferences" button that may be an answer.
Alternately, delete the 2 locations where I think all VLC settings reside. At a terminal:
rm -r ~/.config/vlc
rm -r ~/.local/share/vlc
Thanks for trying Bill, but none of that worked
My apologies Bill, I had another think about the terminal instructions and did a restart of the PC and now have all the menus and controls back.
Every thing as it should be.
Good work Bill, thanks a million

Glad it worked out! I've been using VLC exclusively for many years but living with its quirks. It often crashes leaving a process running which was probably what the reboot got rid of. I run killall -9 vlc more often than I would like.
Try Control H. It worked for me and brought the menu functions back!
