Panel dissapearing on Startup at random.

if those are the only apps you installed, perhaps

Code: Select all

apt-get install kodi chromium -s

before you reinstall them will provide some information.

new rootfs, change panel too horizontal - reboot = all fine. start MX package installer, install kodi, reboot = panel missing !

Just me ???

[dolphin_oracle]

you are at least the first to report it.

boot without persistence (no need to delete the rootfs, just boot without persistence option) and try

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install kodi -s

new rootfs, change panel too horizontal - reboot = all fine. start MX package installer, this time ONLY installed chromium, reboot = wow, panel missing as-well !

will switch to original release instead of monthly and see how that goes, cheers for now.

on your persistant usb instance with the issue can you try running

Code: Select all

sudo ldconfig && xfce4-panel

if no luck then try

Code: Select all

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 xfce4-panel

and post any feedback here?

[dolphin_oracle]

so far i can't duplicate the OP's problem. how do you set kodi to windowed mode instead of full screen?
