OpenSUSE :: Can't Get New One's To Appear In Panel
May 29, 2011
when I add the Chromium/Chrome icons to my panel, I always get the old icons. If I add the icon to the desktop, I get the new flat one but I can't get the new one's to appear in the panel. All of the other icons associated with these browsers are the new ones: Icon in the upper left when the browser is open is new. When I hover the cursor over the old icon in the panel, the pop up window shows the new icon. The entry in the kickoff menu shows the new icon. The icon in the task manager is the new one. I've deleted all of the old icons from /usr/share/icons but somehow it is still appearing in the panel. I also deleted the plasmarc files from ~/.kde4/share/config but this didn't change anything. how I can get the new flat icons to appear in my panel?
I rebuild my desktop after deleting my plasma config files but for the life of me cannot figure out how to place application shorts onto the panel. The solutions I found by googling don't seem to apply to KDE4.4.0 or oS's implementation of it.
I've tried right clicking on the panel which according to KDE's docs should bring up a context menu which has the option to add application to the panel. This does not exist on my installation.
I am just starting with openSUSE and have read the documentation, which tells me that Panel->Add->Applet->Application Launcher will let me add an application to the panel.There seems to be no such option, other than to Add Widgets.I have a program, which I have installed, and runs, but I can't see how to put it on the panel
I'm currently using opensuse 11.2 with gnome. I accidentally removed the Networkmanager icon tool and I can't get it back. Ive searched under the "Add to Panel" list but its not there
This is a new clean install and I must have done something wrong here. Sorry for the huge image I know I shold be able to see the clock in the taskbar and that black and white in the panel shouldn't be there. What do I do?
I have tried 2 methods to add to the gnome panel, but it isn't working for the banshee music player.If I drag/drop on there it doens't take.If I try to right click and add to panel and select it from the menu it also does not show up.
Each time a cursor hovers above icons or application launcher in the panel, tooltips pop up immediately. It bothers. But I did not find where to switch them off. I found it for the task manager, but not the panel itself. Is it possible anyway?
After a fresh install of Fedora 12 I'm delivered to the image on the attachment. Well aside from not being able to see icons on the left, or go to the any terminal and not seeing anything and be forced to blind type and hope for the best there are some other issues. Enabling panel transparency shows video artefacts on the panel.nouveau doesn't enable 3D(I use a NVidia GeForce 9600 GT 512MB and my monitor is a ACER LCD X223W)) kind and point me to resources about the nouveau driver and how to configure it so it starts to work?
When I start the tightvncserver (vncserver -geometry 1600x1024 :1) and then connect to it with a vncviewer (tightvnc 1.3.0 on Win7 or vncviewer on 9.10) and then start a terminal (gnome-terminal or xterm) the m key it opens the envelope tab on the panel. The 's' key opens the shutdown applet.This did not happen on 9.10, or earlier
Someone on the forums had me uninstall pulseaudio to get pSX working, and now I don't have a volume control icon on the panel and when choosing to add stuff to the panel it isn't available.I re-installed pulseaudio through the package manager, but I have a feeling it didn't install everything that uninstalled with it.
My panel at the bottom of the screen has vanished. First off the "shutdown" button in the computer menu vanished so I restarted and when I did that, the entire panel had vanished. I shut down and restarted again but it hasn't helped.
I am running Open Suse 11.2 and did an update this weekend to get the latest patches and after a required reboot I no longer have a desktop panel or access to the computer menus, etc. I get to a login screen and I can see the panel at that point, but after I login I just get a desktop background. I can see the system is booting up and the "connect to wireless network succesful" comes up too, I just can't see the desktop panel. Anything I can try to get it back?I am running this on an IBM T42p laptop and the xgl graphics are sweet but seems to have stopped as well.
I right clicked on the panel on my Gnome Desktop and clicked on "Delete This Panel", now all the applications are gone, I can only access them by using alt + tab.How can I restore the Panel, I am running openSuse 11.2
After installing the 11.3 CD download, I find that there is no time display in the right hand part of the panel although there is a large blank part of the display apparently waiting for it.Has anyone encountered this? My settings for time are fine but after resetting time, and before resetting time, the actual time display does not appear.
There is no clock on my panel after the 11.3 install. I don't get it. I unlock the widgets and there is a digital clock there, but I cannot drag it to the panel, only the desktop. So I suppose there is another way of adding it. The standard clock is not a widget?
I can do height adjustments but not width. My width buttons have disappeared. I have the same problem with the panel that runs up the right side. KDE 4.4.4 11.3
After I reinstalled OpenSuse 11.3. I have an interesting problem. When I start Umbrello or Ocullar under GNOME, windows of these applications are opened maximazied with no top panel (the one with close, minimize, maximize buttons and window name). I can't resize this window or move it somewhere.
opensuse 11.4---I have the lower panel on the desktop that has a firefox shortcut icon..I want to replace it with a google chrome shortcut--how do i do that
I use the Air openSUSE theme for my panel bar, etc., yet, after rebooting (or starting up the computer after it has been shut down), the panel bar comes up as if it were configured with some kind of black theme, which I do not like - you can still see things like icons for windows, launcher, etc. except for the clock, since its font color is black.
How do I put a stop to this? I have tried everything I can think of, customized settings, different themes, and so on, yet I get the same results after booting into openSUSE.I am using the openSUSE 11.2 KDE version.
I have had this problem with all installations of Maverick Meerkat. Moving the default clock from the upper panel to the lower panel makes it bahave strangely. When clicked on, it now appears in the middle of the screen (sometimes even higher depending on resolution). This never happened prior to Maverick Meerkat.
So I just updated my IdeaPad to Natty and played around with Unity. The performane was absolutely unbearable so I installed Unity2D from the software center. Now when I start the session everything seems to be fine at first. Whenever I move the mouse over the panel though it seems to switch to my old gnome-panel from the "Classic" session (with some missing icons). When I move the mouse over that panel again it switches back to the Unity panel style. What is going on? Can I fix this somehow? I will have to use the classic session until I get a working consistent behavior
Regarding the gnome-panel in Ubuntu (64 bit).... I discovered some time ago that I wasn't the only one who routinely (every login) had their gnome-panel appear butchered, for which Alt-F2 then 'killall gnome-panel' would easily fix.
Having become impatient with this over the past 8 months, I decided I would automate the process and so cofiguring the startup applications seemed like a perfectly logical choice to me. Turns out I was wrong. After adding 'killall gnome-panel' to the startup applications not only does the panel fail to load altogether now, but Alt-F2 doesn't even work.
I tried Ctl-Alt-F1 and working with the graphics-free mode thinking I could somehow navigate to the startup apps config file and edit it, but I don't know where it is or how to edit it without logging in as root and I certainly don't know of any 'root password'.
After a fresh 11.2 KDE install on a second PC, the starting desktop exhibited a transparent panel, with "Desktop Folder" as a title, and five (5) icons. In the course of modifying the desktop icons, this was deleted. I have looked, searched, Google'd etc, to find a process to restore this transparent folder. No luck so far. I have placed the icons back, all works correctly, though I would like to know how to recreate this transparent rectangular panel. (My other two Linux PC's are Gnome (one openSUSE 11.2 and one Ubuntu 9.10).
On the KDE desktop (openSuse 11.2), I clicked incorrectly an "Eliminate element" option, and the task bar is not present any more; I then selected "Add graphic elements", and the most similar widget to task bar I found is "Activity bar" (translated from Spanish). I selected it and I see a big button on the pannel labeled "Desk"... If I launch several applications, I cannot see them on the panel any more the task bar is not there..How can I restore it?how can elements be moved of position horizontally within the panel?
