[kristoffer@localhost ~]$ uname -r 5.15.18-desktop-2.mga8 I suspect that mate-panel is the cause, but I'm definitely not sure. Is there anything logged in system log? You mention theme BlackMate. Do the problem appear with default theme? CC:

What's the easiest fastest way to restore to the standard theme without reinstalling the system? I imagine by going the same path you used: System-Preferences-Appearance etc-Appearance. In my case, the first item is highlighted, but in an italic font; I presume this is the default (unsure of the exact translation of the caption), I have no wish to change it! Are you saying that a default choice no longer shows after you have changed to a different theme? If not, you can certainly chose another theme that pleases you better. CC:

Does any ongoing application get interrupted? It's just the panel that reappears/reloads. Changing the title of this bug.

Mate desktop reloads itself as if it crashes, but there's no popup window telling me that it crashed =>
mate-panel reloads itself as if it crashes, but there's no popup window telling me that it crashed Thank you for this important clarification. It is important to know whether this visual occurence actually causes any disruption. You do not say. It may be routine normal behaviour. If no functional interference, we can call it 'academic'. If you notice it again, note the time, and then look at the system journal around that time (should be the end, of course) for any clues: $ journalctl -b and if you see anything suspicious, post that bit of the displayed journal.

NEEDINFO Kristoffer Is this till an issue? (In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #9) > Kristoffer > Is this till an issue? Affirmative. I think we are going to have to see whether this still happens with newly released Mageia 9. Mate is commonly used, and we have no other similar reports. Does it still happen with Mageia 9? |
