Description
Vector menu no longer had geoprocessing tools. Raster menu also seems to be missing elements.
Has there been a GUI change? Are these tools hiding elsewhere? Google search and documentation dont indicate...
Thanks.

Hi,
If you were looking for FTools items, note that FTools has been removed in master and replaced by Processing algorithms. So check if you activate the processing tools in your plugin manager.

Got it, so these are now in the side panel, QGis geoalorithms, vector geometry tools, voronoi polygons (for example).
Do we know why they were moved out of the top menu? Seems rather unintuitive since raster tools are still up there...

They should still be in the vector menu. And they are, at least on mine. re-check and report, please (unchecking FTools and checking Processing in your plugin Manager)
see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/54 for the reasons.

I tried this here on Debian too:
- 2.14.2: OK
- master: no menu
- master started with 'qgis --configpath /tmp/foo': OK
So though at first it seemed something with my configuration (all in .qgis2), it is strange that qgis 2.14 is ok with it, but master apparently no :-(

Ok after some investigating this has to do with different versions of the processing plugin in different places.
IF you run master version, then there is a processing plugin included as 'core'-plugin
IF you then also have a processing plugin in your .qgis2/python/plugins it makes the menu dissappear.
Actually the plugin loader should mask the older version (in your plugin folder), but this does not work currently.
So the fix is: IF you are running master: remove the processing from your plugin folder
If you want to run 2.14.x again you should download processing from the plugin repo again
So closing this one I think as it is not ubuntu specific, but actually a plugin loading problem...

Hi Richard,
Good sleuthing. Are you sure it's right to close this though? It's still a bug no?
I renamed processing to "brocessing" (convenience) in /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/db_manager but when reloaded, qgis then found v2.12.99 there, and 2.12.2 in /home/me/.qgis2/python/plugins/processing (when looking at the plugins menu). I then moved both processing folders up one level so they wouldn't be found, still no menu, now no processing option in the plugins menu. Fine. Put processing folder back into plugins folder in /user/share, reloaded qgis, no menu, went to plugins menu, turned on processing (2.12.99, newer than in repository), menu is back.
So: fixed, good stuff, thanks. But surely this is a bug? Even if it's not ubuntu specific, it's a plugin loading problem, and qgis should handle this differently/better/correctly.

Hi Richard. I had to reinstall Qgis and ran into this again. Even if it is or isn't ubuntu specific, it's still an unresolved bug. And what's odd today is that I had processing in /usr/share but no menu, and since moving it from usr/share, it's now not present in the plugins menu, AND there's no Processing item listed in plugs for me to download...!

Please check that you have no Processing in your ~/.qgis2/plugins directory

This is correct. Processing is a core QGIS plugin and shipped only with QGIS

Please check that you have no Processing in your ~/.qgis2/plugins directory
Processing folders:
/.qgis2/processing/
and
/.qgis2/python/processing/
but not in:
~/.qgis2/python/plugins/
Thanks Alex.
