This has occurred on multiple machines (all with Nvidia cards and dual monitors) I have to add the panel manually or I don't have a taskbar/menu - you have one panel with just the activity launcher. This occurs before installing the nvidia binary driver. It's happened on 3 different work stations (all dual monitor/nvidia) More info on this reddit thread http://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1d48wb/kubuntu_1304_released/ == Workaround == - For those that need this to work before a fix is out and don't want to edit the panels by hand, edit + For those that need this to work before a fix is out and don't want to edit the panels by hand, edit /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/apps/plasma-desktop/init/00-defaultLayout.js - there replace + there replace panel.height = panels()[i].height = screenGeometry(0).height > 1024 ? 35 : 27 - with + with panel.height = screenGeometry(0).height > 1024 ? 35 : 27 after that reset your kde configuration by removing ~/.kde (or at least the plasma config in there), login and you'll have properly set up panels. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: kde-workspace 4:4.10.2-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-19.29-generic 3.8.8 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Apr 30 10:54:50 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-04-26 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MarkForUpload: True - PackageArchitecture: all - SourcePackage: kde-workspace + PackageArchitecture: allSourcePackage: kde-workspace UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
