Public bug reported:
I upgraded my 8.04 Hardy to Intrepid Alpha 4. And have been upgrading/updating
ever since. When I first did this, my menu bar, with the "Appliciations Places
Systems" and the rest of the main bar worked erratically for me. The Places
menu for example doesn't bring up the file manager when I click "Home Folder"
for example, it brings up gedit instead. The logout button on the far right of
the menu bar was missing entirely. Someone suggested I create a new account and
see if things worked there. So I did create a new account, and the places menus
now works correctly, there is a logout button on the far right of the bar, but
there was "lightbubl" next to the sound icond on the bar. When I click that, I
get a dialog box saying "There is now a combined status menu for instant
messaging status, switching user accounts, and exiting Ubuntu.
This menu will replace the current Quit button. If you click on the "Update"
button below your Quit button will be replaced with the new status menu." So I
click the update button, and I get the following message dialog, "No logout
button found" - "The logout button can not be found or is not the standard
location. Please update the panel configuration manually."
So now I"m not sure if I should have created this new account. Or what is
happening here.
By the wway, if I try to find out the release of Ubuntu I'm using via System ->
About Ubuntu, I don't get any information at all about Ubuntu. The location
where I believe the information "about ubuntu" is supposed to be is blank.
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Package version - None
Expected to happen: That when I created a new user, everything would work as
expected. The new user would have all of the features created automatically.
What happened instead: I have to do something, but don't know what. Over all
I'm happy with this release, but I would like to "reset" the menu bar on my old
Main Login, and not have to create a new account and move everything to the new
login.
