Public bug reported: I have 20.04 running on a couple of different machines. Sometimes when I have a problem of some sort and reboot, I'll have a desktop with the default wallpaper and no panel. This happened this morning after I had a networking problem. Adding a panel by right-clicking the desktop does not work. Usually the only fix is to delete the .kde, .config, .cache, and .local directories from my $HOME. Needless to say this is a royal pita.
When I have this problem I can display the available windows with Alt-F4; they appear in a panel on the left-hand side of the screen. I've tried to determine just where the problem lies but without much success. I run a pretty vanilla setup with just a custom wallpaper and customized program menu. This has happened so frequently to me in the past couple of weeks that I expected to see a bug report filed already. ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860695 Title: 20.04 often have no panel and default desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1860695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
