Fedora :: 14 - Disappearing Menubars ?
Nov 9, 2010
I recently made the hop from Ubuntu to Fedora because I wanted a bit of a challenge and I had grown tired of Ubuntu constantly breaking stuff with each release. So far, Fedora's not bad (I've gotten my GeForce 9400 GT working with no major issues save for the x-something-or-other boot message), but I have run into a strange error: menubars no longer appear in any of my GTK applications! Firefox and OpenOffice work fine, but OO is Java-based and Firefox is pseudo-GTK, so I don't really understand what's going on here. The Global Menu Panel Applet is an alright workaround, but I want my menus in my windows!

I was playing around with Nautilus,and I right-clicked my menubars and deleted all of them. How do I get them back?

After I upgraded to Naty Narwhal (I'm using Ubuntu Classic, because my GPU cannnot process Unity) few days ago, Opera began to hide both menubar and disable its own control bar (not sure how should I call it - the close,minimize,maximize thingy). Actually, the problem occurs only when I'm using Clearlooks theme. With Ubuntu's default (radiance) everything is fine.

I tried to install globalmenu today, but gave up after. I am not sure if I removed the application accordingly, but the menubar for some applications is missing (attached pic of a terminal window without menubar).

Allow me to set the scene. I have a 250g external HD that I use to store large things that I don't need often and don't want cluttering up my laptop (I don't have much space to play with on it). This external is formatted with a 200g ext4 partition for storage and a 50g FAT32 so that I can play back movies and TV shows on my Xbox and don't have to watch them on the netbook.
So there I was, moving my collection of Firefly episodes to the "xbox partition" from the ext4 "storage partition". Terminal is whizzing along and all is right with world. Then the power goes out. For a moment I think, "I'm fine, I'm on a laptop". No cigar. My USB hub is externally powered, which is excellent for charging cellphones. It sucks for moving files, it seems. When the power went out, the hub switched off and my drive was disconnected mid-operation. When the power was restored, a few moments later, I try to navigate back to my source directory and redo the file transfer.
The power outage had claimed nearly 100g of video, much of it difficult to replace. With a quickening pulse, I briefly panicked and reached for my recovery live cd, complete with testdisk. Then I remembered that I was on linux.

Is it just me or does a page full of animated GIFs act funny on Fedora 14?
Example: [url]
Half the emoticons like to flash and disappear and things, even right clicking one and doing "view image" links to a gif that keeps disappearing and flickering. But when saved and viewed in another program (aMSN for instance) the GIF is fine.

I've using RedHat/Fedora for years now, and every now and then I encounter the following situation :
I open a folder and it's empty. The folder was containing files and I'm 100% sure I didn't deleted them myself. Each time the folder is deep inside the hierarchy and is among other untouched folders. Sometimes it's a folder I never use, sometimes it's a folder I use almost everyday. The missing content is not large (a few regular files).
I'm currently running F13 but I've seen this behavior before on previous versions. This is kind of scary all my work is there and my backups are also done on a a linux backup server.
I'm puzzled, I cannot see any specificities to these folders, I had no crash or cold reboot, nothing I see can explain that. Could it be related to ext3?

I just did a clean install of fedora 14 on a dell precision 690 (multiprocessor system, with buckets of memory--16gb). It is old, but a great machine. It is dual boot to windows, but that is probably irrelevant. Note, the reason I did the clean install was the exact problem I report here had cropped up on this system running fedora 14, but I was having kluged together the system after grub issues, so i blamed it on something unrelated and hoped a clean install would solve this.
After installing the system, running updates, etc., I installed open office, and virtualbox. I then set up two virtual machines in virtual box, both Win XP, and added my favorite windows applications. that may not be relevant, but that is the history. I added a couple pieces of high end software too, which required some odd libraries--libgdal and libexpat.
After a couple of of days of using the machine, I tried to run open office (after having used it several times, and logged off several times) and it wouldn't execute. I then realized that all of my desktop icons had disappeared. I then experimented and realized several other applications wouldn't execute from the gnome applications menu. however, I could execute anything I wanted from the command line in a terminal.
I read a suggestion in the forums to create a new user. painful process, but that did indeed solve the problem (temporarily). But then the problem repeated with the new user. So now, this really sucks and I'm cursing fedora. After consulting my linux geek brother, I tried something else--I loaded kde, and tried that. (btw--why doesn't ctl-alt-backspace allow you to switch windows managers in this linux?)
Anyway, kde works fine with everything except open office--it still won't run for some reason, even in kde.
Strangely, my virtual machines worked throughout all this. that is, I could execute virtualbox from gnome, everything runs fine.

I've also shut down both printer and PC, disconnected the cable between, and also pulled power cord of printer. Reconnected everything and powered back up. The things I tried in both the thread and the cable bit only worked for one time. Then on the following day it would disappear again. It worked beautifully when I first did the complete install of Lucid last month when it came out for final release. But last weekend it started disappearing and when I do get it to show it seems to be only temporary. Has anyone found a permanent fix for this? Is there a "hard fix" for this being worked on from the developers?

I was experiencing some latency issues when loading KDE on my (squeeze) HTPC box, so I decided to replace the system drive with one that was a bit faster (and larger). Faced with the unpleasantness of having to repeat the many troubleshooting and configuration issues I had with the previous installation, I decided to copy a known good installation. As it turned out it didn't make much difference. I still spent several hours reconfiguring screen and font resolutions, setting up a wireless bridge, removing unnecessary server components, reconfiguring apt proxy settings, resetting hostname and IP addresses, and getting passthrough audio working again.
Anway, once completed, the system was much more responsive, so I was happy--until I tried to burn an ISO to the DVD. When K3b loads it informs me that it is missing several necessary applications, including cdrecord, cdrdao, mkisofs, etc. All the necessary applications were installed and working on the original system which I copied. I verified their existence on the new installation via "aptitude search <packagename>". I even performed a reinstall of said packages. Nevertheless, K3b refuses to detect their existence.Just to be clear, all my boxen are built to standard. Same motherboard, same CPU, same memory, same HDDs, same DVD burners. I do this purposely to avoid just these sorts of issues. I don't see how a working configuration on one machine can fail on another. I am beginning to believe that this is yet more evidence to support my theory that the universe is not only unpredictable, but arbitrary and inconsistent and possibly even perverse.

This is driving me up the wall; my mouse cursor disappears whenever I cross from monitor 1 to monitor 2, but returns after moving the mouse around. I've been reading to other posts and tried changing themes etc, but now I have slightly messed up desktop as well - my minimise/restore/close buttons have gone, they only appear when I mouse over where they should be.
There are several things I like about Karmic, but I only migrated to it from Hardy so that the ATI drivers would work correctly for my new HD5770 graphics card, otherwise I would have stayed with Hardy. how I can get the mouse cursor to stay visible all the time?

We run Ubuntu 10.04 Server for our solutions, but I'm having a bizarre problem with init.d boot scripts. I have a script for the Sangoma wanpipe drivers that I modified to add the LSB information so that "update rc.d wanrouter defaults" runs correctly. The symbolic links from rcN.d to init.However, when I reboot the system, all the rcN.d links have disappeared and wanrouter isn't automatically started!I've never seen this kind of behaviour from a Unix based system in 20+ years, so I'm baffled as to how to fix the problem.

I've been having a recurring problem with the borders of all my windows disappearing along with their associated buttons (minimize, maximize, close). The bar which would normally display the name of the current window appears grey, and all other windows have a thick grey border around them. I noticed some people on here having similar problems and tried applying the solutions in those threads to my problem, but none of them solved the problem permanently. The borders seem to disappear at random shortly after my computer boots. Sometimes it happens as soon as I open a window, other times it takes a few minutes. It always happens though. Here's a link to some screen captures of what I'm experiencing. The one is a shot of GIMP open with borders intact. The other, which I took a few minutes later, is Firefox with the no borders problem. This doesn't really hinder my ability to use my computer, but it certainly is annoying. I do have compiz installed, if that helps any.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my Cr48 (google beta laptop), which is downloaded from Google.
After a while of using it (it varies, and has been about 30 minutes recently), the menu bars at the top and bottom of the screen disappear.
Webpages perpetually load... but never do. Browser chats still work with people, I just cant load new web pages.
When I hit the power button and am prompted with three shutdown options, the top and bottom icon are red circles with a white X (like it cant load the icon), and all the text is just boxes like it cant load the symbols.
I have to hard reset the whole computer by pulling the battery.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition as a virtual machine on a Windows 7 Host laptop. I install VirtualBox guest additions. Then I installed Chromium. I want Chromium to autostart whenever the Virtual Machine (Ubuntu) boots up. When I add the entry (system/preferences/startup) I use the command chromium-browser. It stays there until I reboot. After I reboot it disappears from the startup applications and does not startup like it should.

I've just formatted a new USB drive to ext4. After creating a mountpoint (/media/Vids) and mounting it I changed permissions so my user owned the filesystem. I added the filesystem to /etc/fstab.
However, when unmounting the drive the mountpoint directory disappeared and I have to manually recreate the mountpoint everytime I want to remount the drive. What's going on?

So I ran my updates today (I'm running 10.04) and was required to restart. I did so, but after logging in none of my sound worked. In fact, the entire sound structure appeared to vanish. I could not access alsamixer (either user or root: Looks like this
Code:
$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$ sudo alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$ which alsamixer
/usr/bin/alsamixer
I also cannot play things from Pandora or Rythembox (which I used to play CDs). I can open the sound preferences window but there is nothing under Hardware, so perhaps the update threw out my device driver? I can see if I can reinstall, but I'd rather an easier fix if there is one out there. I hate screwing with the sound when there is a simple way to do something.

I recently bought a D-Link DWA-140 USB wifi adapter for use with my CentOS 2.6.18-194.el5 hoping that it would work seamlessly due to its popularity but having issues with it.
The USB adapter is detected in the System > Administration > Hardware.
It also appears in lsusb:
but when I went into System > Administration > Network it does not appear in the Hardware tab.
After some searching I found out that I need to install some packages which I did.
Namely, rt2870-firmware rpm and kmod-rt2870sta
Then I turned NetworkManager on as a service and through the docked applet on the top menu bar I was able to connect to my wifi net.
However when I rebooted the connection wasn't re-established and when I click on the NetworkManager applet icon it tells me "No network devices available"
Where did my USB adapter and joy go? :(
I can't for the life of me get the adapter to re-surface even if I go to System > Administration > Network and try create a new interface.
No devices appear there in the Devices tab and nothing in the Hardware tab.

Items in my xfce panel are disappearing. First it was the networkmanager launcher which disappeared in xfce but still appeared when I used GNOME, then it disappeared in GNOME. My "x updates are available" icon and volume control icons are also gone, and just now my entire "applications" drop down menu disappeared. I frequently use xmonad so I know all the /bin/ commands for critical programs, but this is really annoying. Also, my desktop keeps changing back to a certain image without me changing it. If I was on windows I would think I had a virus. Maybe I dowlnoaded some bad games I was trying to play in wine? xubuntu 9.10, not updated for a little while since the icon disappeared, Thinkpad T61...

At links the mouse pointer disappears within Internet Explorer 6.0. I just updated to the latest version of ubuntu which run like a charm. This problem however is annoying.I can press Ctrl to see the pointer but the fact is it should never disappear.
I do have problems with the graphics (Intel 4500) which sometimes at reproducable cases stops responding. (When trying to update graphically and having to answer a question in a child window to the main window). Is this problem a wine setting or something with x11 or compiz or ?

It showed up once I upgraded to Lucid. The inhibit applet keeps disappearing from the panel. It doesn't matter where I place it, if it's locked in place, or what panel I've placed it on; it will be there, but then disappear once I reboot the computer and log back in to the desktop. It shows as an empty space where the icon used to be; right clicking the blank space gives me the standard context menu for the panel instead of the context menu for the inhibit applet. The only way I can get the icon to reappear is if I go to the panel properties and fidget around with the Expand and Hide Buttons options. Does anyone have this same problem?

I recently upgraded mplayer and smplayer to fix a bug with subtitle rendering in the repos version. From the PPA/SVN I have
Code:
This is SMPlayer v. 0.6.9 (SVN r3447)
However, sound keeps disappearing in smplayer and won't come back until I reboot. Sound is still present in all other players including mplayer.
Running smplayer from the command line gives no output so I don't know what night be wrong. Volume is at max and not muted.

What is it with the gnome panel that causes its inexplicable disappearance? Is it a bug? I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 and I think this panel disappearance phenomenon has become more frequent in recent distros. Since I installed 10.04 nearly 2 months ago, I've had to rebuild gnome twice, the last time today.
I've looked at some (maybe most) of the forum posts on this issue and there doesn't seem to be any clear reason why the panel drops out as it does, not that I can see anyhow. Ubuntu developers, please don't get me wrong. I respect your work and will certainly stick with Ubuntu, no doubt about that. But the evaporation of the panel is a niggling issue, having to restore and then setup the panel with the file browser and all the rest.
