Description claire robinson 2015-04-23 17:31:22 CEST

5RC9 (20th april) DVD 32 with default Mate install

On login mate panels slide out at the top and bottom but they have no menus or applets. Other than that, the desktop appears normal, with icons on the actual desktop itself.

The applets appear to be running in the background, it gives notifications of updates, but both the panels are completely empty. That includes when an application is opened/minimised it is not shown in the bottom panel.


Reproducible:

Comment 4 Rémi Verschelde 2015-04-23 21:17:58 CEST

Could not reproduce with the following installation media:
- DVD 32bit, MATE install
- DVD 64bit, MATE install
- LiveDVD GNOME 64bit, MATE installed after reboot with task-mate-minimal --no-recommends.

Comment 5 Len Lawrence 2015-04-23 23:02:22 CEST

No trouble here either

DVD 64bit UEFI real hardware, KDE/GNOME/Mate
DVD 32bit VirtualBox, KDE/GNOME/Mate

Just to make sure; reinstalled on 32bit VM and specified Mate only as desktop environment.  Panels looked fine.  Added a new user and logged her in.  Panels still OK.

Comment 7 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-04-24 08:11:34 CEST

I only had a chance to download RC9 last night, thanks to Claire gave me the access. I' ll test both x86_64 and i586 classic isos tonight. Btw, i can not reproduce this on a fully updated Cauldron machine with a new user.

Trying RCv9 Classic DVD real x64 EFI h/w.
Installed Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Mate, XFCE.
Claire's problem was *not* evident, all panels basically OK. Don't know about panels sliding up & down - an option [hide] to explore?

Lewis, just right click on a panel and choose "properties" from menu. There you can check "Autohide" option to hide panel.

Comment 10 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-04-24 21:36:44 CEST

Ok. I'm on RC9 32 bit on a fresh created VM and can not reproduce the issue. Panels are working without a problem. Autohiding is working also. Note that KDE and XFCE is also installed to this system.

Comment 11 Anne Nicolas 2015-04-28 21:45:42 CEST

What out this bug ? can we decrease priority while we do not have more reports confirming it?

Comment 12 claire robinson 2015-04-29 00:13:42 CEST

Yes, good idea.

Priority: release_blocker => Normal

Comment 13 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-05-20 15:12:33 CEST

Claire, it seems to me this is a race condition but neither journalctl nor xsession-errors files don't give a clue. If you still experienced this problem with final testing isos; would you mind to kill mate-panel and restart from commandline? Post the output please.

I haven't reproduced this since Atilla, including a Mate install today.

OK to close it if you want to.

Comment 15 Nicolas Lécureuil 2015-05-22 15:02:59 CEST

please reopen and provide a screenshot if needed.
