I just installed ubuntu 12.10 and gnome 3, I opened gcalctool and there is no way to change the base and the calc type. Am I right or it's just my stupidity?

Here is a screenshot of it:

What happens when you try to change the mode from menu? – devav2 Oct 23 '12 at 9:56

I am using GNOME Shell 3.6.2 – Frederico Schardong Mar 17 at 20:21

It shouldn't help much, but still... In Unity, you do not see the menu attached with the calculator itself. Its present at the top. See the screenshot: i.stack.imgur.com/X5CfS.png Is it same with Gnome - Do you manage to find the menu bar? – Aditya Mar 17 at 20:28
It is not the same with Gnome, each application holds its menu – Frederico Schardong Mar 17 at 20:30

You can change the Calculator mode through the menu. You do not see the menu attached with the calculator itself, its present at the top panel. See the screenshot:

calculator-menu

To change the base, you would need to use the Programming mode:

change-base

Use alt + M if there is a menu on the upper left corner of the monitor.

alt + m does nothing – Frederico Schardong Mar 11 at 0:27
try clicking the Calculator. If there is still no menu uninstall it through ubuntu software center then reinstall. try finding the menu again. – Ralf17 Mar 15 at 8:09
Uninstalled and installed again, same behaviour. – Frederico Schardong Mar 16 at 22:39

Bring up the calculator, then left click on the icon of the calculator in the upper left hand corner of the tool bar. A drop down menu will appear where you can select the mode.
