Panel disappeared suddenly [Solved]

[punhan]

On Claude, I found and implemented the necessary commands to solve the problem. However, every time I start up, two terminal windows and the MX-Tweak application open automatically. This might be due to saved sessions, but I'm hesitant to delete them because I'm concerned it may erase my configured settings.

Here’s the code I used:

1) `sudo systemctl restart dbus`

2) `sudo chown -R root:messagebus /var/run/dbus`

3) `sudo rm /var/lib/dbus/machine-id`
`sudo dbus-uuidgen --ensure`

Then Session and Startup, then from Current Session, I cleared the cache and the problem completely solved. Big Thanks to MX Community and Claude GPT.

In the meantime (though it's already solved):

2) `sudo chown -R root:messagebus /var/run/dbus`

It shows here:

drwxr-xr-x 2 messagebus messagebus 80 Dec 21 15:46 dbus

and root:root for the rest:

Code: Select all

$ ls -la /var/run/dbus
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  2 messagebus messagebus  80 Dec 21 15:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 29 root       root       960 Dec 21 17:12 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root       root         5 Dec 21 15:46 pid
srwxrwxrwx  1 root       root         0 Dec 21 15:46 system_bus_socket

Code: Select all

$ ls -la /var/run/dbus/pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Dec 21 15:46 /var/run/dbus/pid

Sorry, what does all that mean? Could you simplify?

[Kermit the Frog]

That command probably changed "all" of them to root:messagebus

You can compare using the same commands:

Code: Select all

ls -la /var/run/dbus

Code: Select all

ls -la /var/run/dbus/pid

[punhan]

Yes, all of them are root, is it risky? What should I change?

Code: Select all

]total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root       root   80 Dec 22 01:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 39 root       root 1200 Dec 22 10:21 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 messagebus root   40 Dec 22 01:58 containers
srw-rw-rw-  1 root       root    0 Dec 22 01:58 system_bus_socket

Second Command did not work.
l

Code: Select all

ls -la /var/run/dbus/pid:
ls: cannot access '/var/run/dbus/pid': No such file or directory

Instead:

Code: Select all

ls -la /var/run/dbus/containers
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 messagebus root 40 Dec 22 01:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root       root 80 Dec 22 01:58

When booted with systemd it shows exactly like yours. So, everything's fine :)
