** Description changed: - Binary package hint: gnome-panel + Binary package hint: gnome-panel, nm-applet, etc... - I'm using karmic x86_64, updated as of 2009-09-30. + SUMMARY: - It's very hard to describe the bug, so a screen shot is attached. + After graphical logon notification area gets scrambled. Icons are in + terrible mess. Some of them are overlapping others. Sometimes network + manager icon is missing. Sometimes phantom icons show up. They can be + clones of any other icons in the notification area. Bug affects any + graphics card: ATI, nVidia, Intel... - As seen on the screen shot, after start up the notification area gets - scrambled, it shows, in case of this screen shot, two volume control - icons, one of them is the actual volume control icon, and the other one - is just a copy of it, it just sits there, clicking on it doesn't do - anything, and right clicking on it will bring the standard notification - area sub-menu. Also missing here is a network manager icon. + WAY TO FIX IT FOR THE CURRENT SESSION: - However: - The phantom icon can be a clone of any other icon in the notification area. I've seen already phantoms of bluez icons, network manager icons and so on. And the missing icon,can also be any of the other icons, there is no rule or consistency :) + When you get your icons distorted right-click on the affected panel (not + icons) click "Properties". In "Panel Properties" change panel + orientation to "Left" or "Right" and back to "Top" or "Bottom". In my + case all icons are displayed properly, but one (nm-applet) is missing. - Also, killing the application with a missing icon will remove the phantom icon, starting the application afterwards will show a correct functioning icon. - In the case of this screen shot, the missing icon was of a nm-applet, so after I killed the nm-applet, one of the volume icons (the phantom one) disappeared, I then started the nm-applet again, and the correct icon for it appeared and worked as intended. + PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ADD YOUR COMMENT/SCREENSHOT: - I haven't seen any related messages in the logs for this. - If you need more information and/or some additional testing,I will be glad to do it. - - Thanks :) - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Wed Sep 30 17:31:38 2009 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 - ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-panel - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Package: gnome-panel 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu3 - ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.36-generic - SourcePackage: gnome-panel - Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic x86_64 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - EDIT (RodGer): - I'm adding the description from the report I've done for a similar problem on my system which is not a 64 bit system.
