Odd... the symptoms have gone away. I'm not sure what changed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309971
Title: other workspaces are blank with no way to switch back Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: What I did; - upgraded to 14.04 trusty - installed gnome-session-flashback - logged out; logged in with gnome flashback (compiz) - in the lower left corner, right click to bring up preferences; change number of workspaces to 4 - click on workspace 3 What I expected: - a panel (with clock etc.) above and a (mostly) blank taskbar below with a workspace switcher - or at least the ability to get back to workspace 1 using ALT-arrow What I saw instead: - a screen completely blank except for the background - no way to change workspaces, launch programs log out, etc. I had to CTRL-ALT-F1 and loging and `sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart` to log in again. Of course, I lose my session state. The symptoms are very much like #156502. That bug was closed as as invalid with an explanation of "This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system" but no reference to the bug that was already reported. If it was already reported, shouldn't the status be something like duplicate?
