[Bug 53897] Re: Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper
I have a machine with old hardware in it, so I use xubuntu. This is not my machine, and the person using it reported this issue. Her panel would sometimes just lose plugins on it, and other times the panel would disappear completely. It's 7.10 gutsy, and her video card is some crappy onboard VIA. -- Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I noticed people said they were playing freecell when this happened - which made me curious, because she said freecell was being played on the machine, and the game was left running overnight. I'm not saying the game running overnight was the issue, but maybe freecell is? -- Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 53897] Re: Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper
I can confirm this bug for 6.06 too: xfce4-panel disappears, and sometimes looses some icons, or the xfce-menu entry. It doesn't seem to depend on an user-interaction. Sometimes I go to sleep and the panel vanished overnight without any interaction. It started in summer 2007, and is appearing more often since then. I use mostly the fglrx-driver for my graphics card, and I'm unsure whether it happens with the radeon driver too. -- Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 53897] Re: Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper
I had this problem recently on Xubuntu Feisty, fully updated - some time in early Oct 07, before the Gutsy upgrade. In fact the problem happened on Feisty and persisted across the upgrade I ran xf4ce-panel and got the panels back, but I have no menus at all - Applications menu just show Settings and About XFCE, and Quit. Is there some easy way to regenerate or recover the original menus for installed packages? Can I also suggest that the Xubuntu developers put the above suggestion of backing up .config in a FAQ? As a newbie to XFCE I had no idea this was the config file, and also didn't realise config was so important to having a usable UI. -- Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 53897] Re: Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper
I have had the same problem as neal and pinkwerks, in booting from the fiesty live cd the xfce panel fails to launch. I created a separate bug report, as this is different from the disappearing panel issue, although i have also experienced a disappearing applications menu.

[Bug 53897] Re: Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper
Ive had it happen on Gnome panels also, I saw some article that said it could reach the point of no repair easy enough just by meddling with putting aps on and editing for whatever reason just breaks. it had a really usefull script that was supposed to be the cure all for the bug, but wouldn't you know it I cant find it once I need it. I eventually got so peaved I just reinstalled. Last night I tried aptitude remove- installed over my xubuntu desktop. I used purge to do it. it didnt do any good. I dont know anything about anything i am only 5 weeks linux. but i hope maybe I said something that helps someone else.

Hi, this is a 'me too'. Just burnt and tested the official xubuntu feisty livecd. No xfce4-panel was visible, desktop icons were there however. Manually launching, `xfce4-panel` worked and the panel came up as expected.

I seem to have this issue with feisty. It seems at random intervals xfce panel dies. Usually I just logout and back in again and its good but usually is missing an icon. In all the cases I can remember it is only one icon but it is not always the same one. -- Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper https://launchpad.net/bugs/53897 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 53897] Re: Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper
I remember having problem in Dapper with the XFCE desktop. I found a thread about this at: http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1603.msg9441 I extracted a possible explanation: === extracted information from forum == By default, XFce saves your settings when you exit it. If the taskbar was gone when you exited XFce, it won't appear the next time you start XFce. So doing Alt-F2 and typing xfce4-panel will make the XFce panel reappear and if it's there when you exit, it'll be there the next time you start. At least that's how it's supposed to work. When I have XFce set up the way I like, I make a backup copy of my home directory's /.config directory. Then if something weird happens, I can exit XFce and from a command prompt without X running, I delete my current /.config directory and copy the backup directory to /.config. Do startx or startxfce4 and everything should look like it was. If you're going to make a backup directory of /.config, do it often because you'll doubtless have changes in that directory that you don't want to lose. Backups are wonderful things! == end of citation Can you update/upgrade your system and verify if you still have the problem with a recent version (Edgy) or update version of your install ? Otherwise, can you try the mentioned workaround and report back any results here ?
