LXpanel has disappeared

after installing the nvidia drivers, lxpanel does not startup anymore

I've looked at the open box autostart configuration and it is listed there(and enabled) I've also tried enabling the autostart of the panel manually in the config file and its not working

Re: LXpanel has disappeared

Try running [c]lxpanel --profile slitaz[/c] from sakura and paste the error you get.

Re: LXpanel has disappeared

It says there is already a running instance; try

ps -ef | grep lxpanel

killall lxpanel

ps -ef | grep lxpanel # check if gone; if not, issue "killall lxpanel" as root

lxpanel --profile slitaz

if lxpanel is not back, try command "lxpanel" (with no profile) and you should have some sort of panel (the default panel, in fact) to begin with

Did you try to customize the panel(s) before you had problems ?

Re: LXpanel has disappeared

Why dont you simply do

cp /etc/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/bottom ~/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/.

after installing the nvidia driver?

Re: LXpanel has disappeared

cp: can't create '/root/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/': No such file or directory

I tried creating the directory manually and got the same error

@ Adel

You are log as root. I don't have any [c]/root/.config/lxpanel/slitaz/panels[/c] directory on my HD. But the directory exists for other users.

Why don't you log as a user ?
