Mint Menu disappears

[inkheart]

I have the 64 bit version of Isadora on my laptop. Could you please tell me why the Mint Menu disappears from the panel? I mean, sometimes it's there when I start Isadora, other times-like now-it's nowhere. I checked if my system is up to date and it says it is.


Processor: 2x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6500 @ 2.10GHz / Memory: 4055MB / Operating System: Linux Mint 9 Isadora / OpenGL Renderer: GeForce 9300M GS/PCI/SSE2

Do you have an external monitor connected to your laptop?

No. What else could be the cause?

Do all the other panel applets function correctly?

I have the same problem on the 32bit version of Mint 9, but not only the the MintMenu is affected. I've added the sensors-applet to the panel, and sometimes - when MintMenu is invisible on the panel - the sensor-applet doesn't show the current values for CPU temperature etc. However, I do see the current values if I move the mouse pointer over the applet. The mintUpdate symbol is also affected: It doesn't show the current status (e.g. the hook) as usual but it does if I move the mouse pointer over it.

These symptoms do not show up after every boot (only sometimes), and they vanish if I log off and log on again. Any suggestion what could be wrong and how to fix this?

Me too!

I am running Isadora Main 32 bit. Sometimes the area of the menu button is corrupted, including the show desktop icon.

I am using a desktop with 2 lcd monitors, using Nvidia twinview.

In another thread someone recommended to execute

Code: Select all

 pkill gnome-panel

I did that,. Let's see if now the panel survives reboots.

No, the desktop icon is half visible so I just removed it from the panel.

If u delete it from the panel accidentally.
-----------------------------------------------------------
right Click on panel select add to panel >find Mint menu and click add

If u don't delete it from the panel accidentally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Open terminal type
top or ps -A (to find the PID of process)
user@user-desktop:~$ top
or
user@user-desktop:~$ ps -A
find the process id of gnome-panel. for example let it xxxx
now kill the gnome-panel
user@user-desktop:kill xxxx
and reboot
user@user-desktop:sudo shutdown -r now


if not Works try the next step

It restarts the gnome-panel. It seems that it has solved my problems.

If it doesn't help you, you might try a more radical way:

Code: Select all

gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel

Ok, I've tried it. I hope it solves the issue.

As a a matter of fact the panel hasn't survived reboots on my system after applying this method. That's why I installed "pessulus" from the repos, started it and chose the option to lock the panel. This has worked as expected so far.
