empty menu on lxpanel crash

[thedoctar]

When lxpanel crashes then restarts, there are no items in the Menu, except for Run and Logout. Everything else is missing. Attached is the file ~/.cache/lxsession/Lubuntu/run.log.

Upon viewing the log file, the exit code 139 crops up a bit, which, with googling, is the exit code for a segmentation fault that usually happens when a program accesses memory it's not allowed to access (I think).

The very last exit code is 15. Restarting it with lxpanelctl restart didn't seem to do anything so I killed lxpanel and manually restarted it and the menu had items in it again, although I had to manually restart twice before the menu was not empty:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I think it has something to do with the fact that when lxpanel restarts, it's not run with the '--profile Lubuntu' option, which presumably describes what's in the menu.

[Michael Della Bitta (mdellabitta)]

I just confirmed with ps -ef | grep lxpanel that it is in fact running with --profile Lubuntu. This is born out by the fact that the panel retains all my customizations.
