GNOME Panel

No panels on log in.

Asked by psikeyhackr

My panels disappeared. I have logged in multiple times and they never come up.

I created a launcher for a terminal. Since I had to find the name for that was gnome-terminal i just guessed and typed gnome-panel and they came up.

I put the line:

gnome-panel &

into .bashrc

When I restarted the panels came up and I got the message "panel already running". So I presume the session just remembers panels was running from the last session and somehow it forgot.

Hello,

 Can you give more details ? What version of Ubuntu are you using? Is it a fresh install? Did you upgrade from an older release?

It is version 7.10 and I have been using it for a few months. Sometimes the top panel would seem to get stuck as though it were mechanical instead of software generated graphics but otherwise it worked OK. Then two days ago the panels disappeared.

I have commented out the

gnome-panel &

from .bashrc and rebooted and things seem to have returned to normal. So I guess once the session remembers it is supposed to have panels it keeps them. At least until it forgets again. Thanx
