When I booted xubuntu feisty livecd (the official version) it came up with no panel at all.
This is on my tired old 1999 latitude laptop. Took 15 minutes to boot :-O 256 MB RAM I looked thru /var/log/* for odd things about "panel" and saw nothing. It worked to run xfce4-panel& from a terminal window. I did notice some odd cdrom drive errors during boot - I might be lucky it booted at all... But other things seem fine. E.g. in /var/log/dmesg: [ 460.964250] hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } [ 460.964282] hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x30 { LastFailedSense=0x03 } [ 460.964300] ide: failed opcode was: unknown [ 460.964709] hdc: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x03 asc: 0x15 ascq: 0x00 [ 460.964790] end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 387868 [ 460.964810] Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 96967 [ 465.272659] SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x2eba7 [ 465.272729] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [bae500c] [ 465.272799] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block bae500c, size 4e32 [ 546.837951] SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x2eb94 [ 546.838036] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [bae1b6f] [ 546.838110] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block bae1b6f, size 349d -- Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
