i think i have some insight on this. i checked ~/.config/lxpanel and found default and Lubuntu directories. i discovered that running lxpanel in terminal resulted in the funky lxpanel because it was using default: http://i.imgur.com/cLaTr.png
then i looked in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart where lxpanel is initially run and found it was run as lxpanel --profile Lubuntu and indeed running this in terminal results in the correct lxpanel. still, there was the funky battery icon:http://i.imgur.com/tahwT.png and i happened to inadvertently notice that /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart also included xfce4-power-manager, pcmanfm, and xscreensaver, all of which weren't running. running xfce4 -power-manager got the right icon back. so i thought i would compare this with another 12.04 system i have. for that matter, the contents of /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu match in terms of md5sum. same permissions (i even checked with stat -c '%a %n' *), same owner, same group. there are no errors running anything in terminal. so it's not like it gets to a point and then fails the whole script (unlikely behavior in any case). i thought maybe those little @ signs at the beginning might be the problem. i know they're meant to run the program in the background, but maybe— nope. so i still agree with the idea that there is something wrong with a config or some startup script but i can't seem to find any conflict. any other ideas? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068640 Title: lxpanel does not start on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1068640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
