Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
The bug I have is reported under bug report number 439448 here: 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- panel/+bug/439448?comments=all' I didn't want to duplicate it but I wanted to give more info and I gave the command 'ubuntu-bug gnome- panel'. The '439448' bug however is for a 64 bit system. Here is the referred report with my comment there: """"""""""Binary package hint: gnome-panel I'm using karmic x86_64, updated as of 2009-09-30. It's very hard to describe the bug, so a screen shot is attached. As seen on the screen shot, after start up the notification area gets scrambled, it shows, in case of this screen shot, two volume control icons, one of them is the actual volume control icon, and the other one is just a copy of it, it just sits there, clicking on it doesn't do anything, and right clicking on it will bring the standard notification area sub-menu. Also missing here is a network manager icon. However: The phantom icon can be a clone of any other icon in the notification area. I've seen already phantoms of bluez icons, network manager icons and so on. And the missing icon,can also be any of the other icons, there is no rule or consistency :) Also, killing the application with a missing icon will remove the phantom icon, starting the application afterwards will show a correct functioning icon. In the case of this screen shot, the missing icon was of a nm-applet, so after I killed the nm-applet, one of the volume icons (the phantom one) disappeared, I then started the nm-applet again, and the correct icon for it appeared and worked as intended. I haven't seen any related messages in the logs for this. If you need more information and/or some additional testing,I will be glad to do it. Thanks :) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Sep 30 17:31:38 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-panel NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: gnome-panel 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.36-generic SourcePackage: gnome-panel Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic x86_64""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" ------ MY COMMENT (#14): """""""""""""""""I have the same problem with a doubled sound icon (one of two is a 'phantom' icon) and a missing network manager icon. Sometimes I have the same problem somebody describes here: (http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309227) like this:" 'In my notification area there's an empty spot at the far right without an icon, I have tried moving the notification area, but the empty spot stays there, preventing further movement to the right. Right clicking there and saying "Remove from panel" removes the entire notification area. I have removed and added it at an attempt to "restart" the area' " Removing and adding again the notification area solves the problem until next reboot.
