 |
|
For some reason my XFCE panel (xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.10.1) isn't showing up anymore, even though the xfce4-panel process is running according to 'ps'. Other than the panel not showing, everything seems to work fine, I can interact with my desktop, the window manager runs normally. Anyone know what might cause this or how I could even begin to debug this?

Hi have you try to kill this process and start it again from terminal?
What does it shows up?

Restarting it didn't seem to work, it prints this:
| Code: |
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
^C
(xfce4-panel:21590): xfce4-panel-CRITICAL **: panel-application.c:1247 (panel_application_save): expression 'XFCONF_IS_CHANNEL (channel)' failed.
|
(note that the last error occurs only after I CTRL+C'd the process) |

Okay I sorted it now. The cause was somewhat idiotic; I found that in the xfce settings editor, the panel has an "output-name" property, which was set to a non-existant xrandr output name, because I had recently connected my monitor via VGA instead of DVI. So after changing that to the correct xrandr output name and restarting xfce4-panel the panel reappeared. Seems silly that simply connecting a different monitor would make the panel disappear like that, but oh well, at least I'll know how to fix it next time  |

Hi it happened to me either. I plug another monitor to my laptop with different ( higher ) resolution and set is as "main" and after I disconnect it, my xfce-panel was stuck "outside" my laptop monitor.
