sudden problem with lxde panel

ssl6 · 2009-03-02 21:53:24

im not sure what i did, but this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere......when i start lxde, the panel keeps flashing, cant click on anything, wondering whats going on with it, if anyone knows

yup, this is a problem. Search the forums, I have seen threads on it. LxPanel is not the "stablest" of panels around

Well poop. Sorry it didn't help.

I had nothing but problems with lxpanel. From the flashing thing, to the disappearing menu, to the crashing panel, to the settings resetting... I saw all of it. That computer has nothing left from LXDE on it. That's how I "solved" the problem.

I agree with skottish. lxpanel started giving me a lot of headaches, so now I simply don't have a panel. However I still have lxappearance installed, which I use occasionally.

If you really need a panel, try pypanel, or fbpanel or tint2 from the repos.

there was something in that thread about modifying a line in a config file, the orignal line is lxde --profile LXDE........which basically tells it to load a profile from ~/.config/something/something/LXDE. i wiped that folder rather than change the config, i think the folder was rebuilt with a new default profile, and i just reconfigured my settings

sorry i cant be more usefull at the moment. im not near the machine i have with LXDE

Wiping the config file and re-configuring seems to solve this problem. At least, once I fixed it I have not seen it come back again.

I did this also when I had problems with the menu not working and causing my panels to reset.
So far a great fix. Now panels are back to normal. I will edit if problem shows itself again.
