When Mageia 7 has several panels

Postby crez » Jan 21st, '20, 15:11

Greetings to all.
I am new to Linux and my first approach is fair with Mageia 7.
I think there is a problem (bug) in the KDE Plasma directory that I am using.
When I told the main panel to hide automatically, I could not see it again, at all.

It should be understood that if the user wants the panel to hide automatically, this does not imply that he does not want to see it again.

I could not see or manage it again, so I had to recreate A NEW PANEL.

Now, as a result of the creation of the new panel, in the section on the addition of Graphic Elements, now the graphic elements panel has more than one installed, or in other cases up to three.
But I can't see the panels or the panel (if there is more of the new one that I had to recreate) that contains them (to the other graphic elements).
How to remove panels that are left over and that I can't see?

You could try to manually remove the panel from the file /home/username/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc or if you don't manage to find your panel within that file, move that whole file away, then relogin and your desktop and the applets should be back to default settings.

FWIW, I just tested this, and it works as expected. Set my panel to hide automatically, it hides and will automatically show again when I hit the screen edge with the mouse.

Hi.
One reason the panel will not show again could be that your display setup is not exact. So the edge of your display is outside your physical display. It could be a maual setup of your monitor will fix it or maybe you could try changing the display resolution, either in Plasma System settings or in MCC.
