I wonder if you can stop the boot process and see if it makes a difference if you modify a file. pass break=init to the kernel (F6 in the liveCD) and rw instead of ro (I hope it has no unintended consequences)
hopefully it will get into a shell before running the init scripts if you leave that shell everything should boot up as before if this works try the same thing but once in the shell modify /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc to not launch xfdesktop4 in the background (remove &) or you could try other thing in that script, puttin a sleep 4 before lauching panel maybe with one of the mods the panel will come up I suspect some race between the xfce apps at startup which only appears due to the CDs slow read times. -- [gutsy] [beta] xubuntu panel pager missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
