So it's needed to delete (or better to move ;) the folder ~/.config/xfce4/panel or is it another folder or file? OT: Btw. regarding to "delete" vs "move" a note to backups of highly specialized Linux and upgrades etc.: FWIW more than likely I'll switch from Ubuntu Studio Precise and Arch Linux to Ubuntu Studio Quantal RC, because Precise and Arch ship with issues regarding to audio work and to get the knack of it seems to be to time consuming for me. Since a default install of Quantal successfully passed the MIDI jitter test, it seems to be the best choice for my needs. It's disappointing that the LTS doesn't fit to my needs. The acronym "LTS" IMO is incorrect regarding to audio and should be avoided. Arch's rolling release model also has it's drawbacks. I suspect upgrading from Precise to Quantal would ship with similar issues as a rolling release does. This thoughts remind me that on the different mailing lists I'm following, I often read that people don't backup their Linux. Especially for a stable audio production machine backups IMO are existentially. We've got all that notifications not to miss each upgrade and tips nobody needs, but regarding to backups to really backup specialized stable systems, there's no information. This results in users doing no backups or doing "smart" backups, that aren't really smart regarding to the target, to ensure the backup provides the stable system, because many users ignore that constantly syncing backups, can't ensure that the backup really provides the Linux that is stable. A notification that it's possible and easy to backup a COMPLETE Linux (without excluding "unneeded" dirs) IMO would be very helpful for many users. A lot of people exclude dirs and sync backups, so when they notice that they need to restore their Linux from a backup, the backup already might be unstable too or is missing a so called "unimportant" files. A highly specialized audio system IMO needs real backups. It's "smart" to backup everything and to keep some "outdated" backups, instead of syncing backup and excluding "unneeded dirs". 2 Cents, Ralf -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
