Running Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit. My system has been running for a while but today I hit this same problem, the menu would not respond to the mouse and neither did the toolbar icons.
>From something in an earlier post I changed Nvidea driver and now it all works again.] Available drivers are - nvidea-375 this is the one recommended but I know this causes VirtualBox to crash the whole machine. xserver-xorg-video-nouveau this one does not work with Virtual Box nvidea-304 this is the one I was using nvidea-340 I have changed to this one and all seems well now I have no idea what triggered the problem, must be an update today I guess. Looking at history todays updates were archdetect-deb (1.117ubuntu2.1) to 1.117ubuntu2.2 libepoxy0 (1.3.1-1ubuntu0.16.04.1) to 1.3.1-1ubuntu0.16.04.2 kpartx (0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.4) to 0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.5 kpartx-boot (0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.4) to 0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.5 so I guess it was one of these. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159707 Title: Cinnamon panel / task bar becomes unresponsive to mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1159707/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
