wrong password ate 2nd panel

#1 Post by phil_n »

Quick System Info below.
I entered the wrong password when doing an upgrade. The box froze. Had to restart. After restart panel 2 has disappeared. Does anyone know how I can get it back?
Thanks in advance.

2nd panel? There should only be one.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

If someone creates a 2nd panel then there are two.
MX-23.6_x64 July 31 2023 * 6.1.0-37amd64 ext4 Xfce 4.20.0 * 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 2700
Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming UEFI * Asus GTX 1050 Ti Nvidia 535.247.01 * 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 Kingston HyperX Predator
Samsung 870EVO * Samsung S24D330 & P2250 * HP Envy 5030

I know, but I'm wondering if in the kerfuffle, he inadvertently switched work spaces?

If you right-click on current panel: ... "Panel Preferences" , does it show "Panel 2" when you click the drop-down (on top) ?

How would you start trouble shooting this? What about looking into config files? It's not a huge deal but I'd like to know what happened? Also maybe I should submit a bug report? Thanks.

You can look into where the panel usually sits, in the .restore folder

See if there is more than 1 there.

You can also check if you switched workspaces indeed. Since I don't use them, not a clue how to do that though.

As to what happened, /var/log/syslog is a good one to start with, especially the time when it happened.

Also, for future unexpected problems of this kind, it might be a good idea to back up your panel configuration (MX Tweak/Panel/Backup current panel configuration). Next time a panel mysteriously vanishes, just click on "restore backup panel configuration".

Normally it's here:

Code: Select all

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml
You can search for "panel-2" inside the file, or have a look whether there's another file beginning with xfce4-panel there (maybe with another extension: xfce4-panel...bak or xfce4-panel ...old etc..)


The .restore is where your panel backups are saved (I wish you did).


... Even if you changed workspaces it would (re)boot with workspace 1 ...
