Bug Description

Booting up into Gnome or XGL/Gnome reports no errors but the menu bars on the top and bottom do not start. This makes the desktop effectively useless. There is also no normal way to log out. I have to turn off the computer. KDE seems to be unaffected.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, we are
not able to fix and find the bug because your description of the bug

"How to report bugs effectively",

We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description
of the problem.

OK. Here goes.

I have an x86 (celeron) based PC that had been running ubuntu 6.06. I upgraded online and reset the system.
Now, whenever I log in, I have my background, whatever icons I had, but the toolbars on the top and bottom
of the screen are blank. This happens when I log in to the Xgl session (my default) or GNOME. KDE seems
to work just fine.

I did not have this problem runnng the LiveCD of 6.10 beta, so I'm guessing the app that runs the menu is
somehow messed up .. ?

Advance thanks for your help.

What version of Ubuntu do you use now. You said you used "ubuntu 6.06" and "upgraded online". Did you upgrade to dapper updates or to edgy? Is the gnome-panel package still installed? Does running gnome-panel from a another session return any message?

Many apologies. I ran apt-get dist-upgrade again, reset and all appears well now.

I am having the exact problem with Feisty on a 64-bit AMD. The menu bars will not load.
