Added more information :
I am using ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), I have the default applets from installation
(nothing else) and the panels turned white when I tried to set the lower panel
to hide itself automatically. I could not enter a console because I didn't had
a shortcut on my desktop. I didn't checked why it occured, but probabilly other
people will have problems with this. I have the drivers installed (Nvidia
173.14.12), I am using compiz... (ccsm set to easy for eyes), I have 1 gb
memory and an Intel Celeron 2.53 Ghz Processor.
I checked for the ~/.xsession-errors file but I have to wait until gnome panel
crashes again. My desktop and applications were fine.
(pidgin,firefox,transmission and screenlets) Only my panels turned white.
Obviously it turned white for me and it hasn't restarted. I wanted to
terminate it but I could not terminate it because I didn't had a console
to kill it. (That's the main problem)
(I will update with xsession-errors when it crashes again )
** Description changed:
The problem persisted when my gnome panel hanged up when I tryed to set
the lower panel to hide itself and I could not restart it without
console and without restarting X.
Firstly I tried to press Alt+f2 to kill gnome panells and I discovered
that it's related to gnome panels because it not worked.
After that I pressed Alt+F1 to enter a console and I logged in. After I
wrote in killall gnome-panel, X hanged up (restarted) when I entered
back to 7.
X has restarted after I gave the 'shutdown 0' command in 1...
Don't ask why I didn't wanted to restart X. Just I don't wanted.
But it's a little problem which should be fixed. Why gnome panels are
crashing and there is no button to restart it ?
My suggestion is to add a refresh command to desktop like in windows. Or
somewhere else. But please add a refresh command to get gnome-panels
back.
- I hope that in ubuntu 8.10 a refresh command will be included to restart
- gnome-panel.
