all menubars/panels disappears

[peter.stigaard]

After installing some updates, all the menubars/panels disappered. I'm a first time user of Ubuntu, and I couldn't find any way to restore the menubars/panels. The only solution I found, was to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch.

Is there a way to restore the panels - applications, places and system ? Since none of the panels were present, I couldn't load /make a new panel.

Thank you for your bug. Do you have any error in .xsession-errors when that happens? Does it work with an another user? Do you use compiz?

Hi Sebastian

I'm a first time user, and I don't think I use compiz - I haven't
installed any extra things, except the updates provided for Ubuntu.
As stated in the bug-report, all the menubars (and especially the main
menubar with Programs, Places and System) have vanished, and I have NO
idea how to get them back. My only solution was to reinstall from
scratch.

Is there a smart way to get the menus back ?

Kind regards

Do you still get the bug and can get extra debug informations?

[peter.stigaard (info-stigaard)]

Hi Sebastien - after having reinstalled from scratch, I haven't gotten
the bug again. All menubars are present and are working OK.

Kind regards

closing the bug for now then, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again

I think I had the same bug.
It randomly happens when I start gnome, and ONLY since I upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10.
The Desktop Manager prompts me for user/pass, I give it them, then it launches the Desktop.
About 80% of times the "splash progress bar" (loading this and that) doesnt appear, then I get the Desktop without bars and anything.
I did CTRL ALT F1 and symlinked a shell to desktop, then I could live again :-)
I have compiz and beryl installed...
A friend of mine suggested me to move ".gnome2" dir of my home.
I did it, but the bug remained.

I attach my .xsession-errors but I dont find anything useful.
Thanx,
