Hi,
Some days ago I lost the task bar at the lower side of the desktop screen. I tried several things to get it back, but helas.
My system: MGA 8, Plasma, 64 bit. All updates done regularly.
Situation:
- All the icons (programs, documents) on my desktop were still there, and were all working.
- I could start Firefox and Dolphin from the konsole.
- But I coudn't use the start menu, and couldn't use the wifi-network center.
- I could boot into the IceWM. It shows its task bar.
I tried to find the menu for the task bar via systemsettings5 in the konsole, but I do not see any entries to restore the task bar.
Well, in the end I re-reinstalled MGA 8 from a LIVE usb stick (reformatting the / root partition, but leaving Home intact). This did not bring back the task bar.
(after this reinstall, I'm on linux kernel 5.10.16 now).
So, now I'm stuck.
I can do some simple office work under IceWM, but of course I prefer my Plasma environment with task bar.
Has anyone an idea how to revive the task bar?
Complete reinstall, including wiping Home?
I remember seeing an update of X server last week, could that have to do with it, or not?
Regards,
Marc.
