Went in MX Tweak - Panel - checked restore default panel and hit apply. I am now panel-less and having to navigate using alt-tab and right clicking on the desktop.

I have done

Code: Select all

xfce4-panel -r &

which is the only command I know to kick things back into gear, but no dice.

Got a popup Failed to restart the panel, GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Dbus.Error.ServiceUnknown. The name org.xfce.Panel was not provided by any .service files.

Whatever that means, might have been posted already, but I figured I'd report it just in case it wasn't.

Probably will come back after logout login, I happened to reboot and things were restored to default.

Docklike taskbar, going into panel preferences - items - select the taskbar, and go click edit, that new window pops up behind the active window. All the others in the list pop up in front.

1. Good point, this never occurred to me. See my response to your suggestion 1.

2. I have recently changed the appearance of the confirmation dialogs so they don't resemble vomit from a Japanese cartoon character. The dialogs are meant to be a summary, so I don't want to clutter them, and the partitions compared with the layout if needed.

3 and 4. If you have a minstall.log can you please post this?

5, 6, and 5. This behavior is weird, I'll look into it.

Now, my response to your suggestions:

1. I'm not sure the default QSpinBox control allows for this, so I need to investigate further. Maybe a context menu with units as you mention, and QDoubleSpinBox for a decimal point if needed.
2. This is poor validation logic inherited from the original installer, but perhaps this can be improved.
3. I'll look into what can be done. The condition shouldn't occur, but see point 2.

About the validation, I am doing an experiment using MVC, which allows for validation improvements not possible with the current pattern. I don't know if this will be ready before the release, but I'll give it a shot.

I can't duplicate the restore default panel issue right now, but I believe you. Sounds like maybe the panel crashed on restart, but that the changes actually went through.

BTW, you do not need the "&" to do the panel restart. in fact, you shouldn't use the "&" to do the restart.

What post is the reply referring to?

Mostly everything fine right now but two annoying things are not yet.

1. Navigating through firefox' bookmarks still results in it's menu dissapearing approximate every third left mouse click. It's a long term bug I noticed in MX 19 too.

2. Similar bug I descriped as of beta1.
I've uninstalled firefox and installed firefox-esr as one of the first actions and now see an empty (settigs-like) icon taking place where the original firefox symbol was.
I cannot delete the empty icon in panel settings due to a right click straight on it. No context menu shows up then.
Reinstalling original firefox and then deteting it don't work either.
The only thing a can do with the icon is hover the cursor on it an then it shows me the location of the icon in the up-popping tooltip information:
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Of course I went to the location to delete it, but there is no such file. Only the esr pendant is present after I linked firefox-esr to the bar.
