Re: task bar missing

By task bar I mean the bar that normally runs along the bottom of the 
screen that contains the Application Launcher (menu), pagers, running 
applications, system tray, etc..

This has been going on for a few weeks. I was hoping that it would
get fixed but instead it's gotten worse.

I'm running Debian/Testing on an AMD64 machine - with KDE obviously.

When I reboot my computer, which I only do every week or so
depending on on how it's behaving, the task bar is missing after I
log in. Up until today, I could log out and it would reappear with
the second login.


By task bar, do you mean a Plasma panel? I am not experiencing the 
same issue. Does it happen when you add another panel too (to that 
panel)? Something may have gone wrong during an update at some point. 
Also, it may help to not lock your widgets between reboots. Last week 
there was a minor issue with icons not appearing in the system tray 
that was fixed by that.


Today it's just gone. A quick trip to Google came up with:
   kquitapp plasmashell && kstart plasmashell
which brought it back.

Just wanted to bring this to people's attention since reportbug
doesn't seem to have done that.


Thank you :-)

Few pieces of Plasma 5.7 are not in testing yet. plasma-desktop and 
plasma-workspace for example are still 5.6.x.


This may or not may related to the issue, but I would first recheck 
with all the components with the same version.


So either you get the missing pieces from unstable or you wait a bit.
