the top bar gone

[Lenny86]

Hello,
Here`s a new problem. the tab bar(i think) is dissapeared . The bar on witch you click to move a window on your desktop is gone, no mather what i open. this seems to happen quite a lot to me and the only solution that i found is to create a new usb every time wich is quite irritateing. i didn`t search arround a lot for resolving the problem because i don`t even know what to look for. any thoughts on this??

Try MainMenu>Knoppix>Restart 3d Desktop.
If this happens often, you might use the no3d cheatcode.

Create in /etc a script called LXDE-Refresh.sh:

#!/bin/bash
killall lxpanel
find ~/.cache/menus -name '*' -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm
lxpanel -p LXDE &


Create in /home/knoppix/.local/share/applications a LXDE-Refresh.desktop file with this code:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=System;
Comment=LXDE Refresh
Exec=/etc/LXDE-Refresh.sh
Hidden=false
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Neu/scalable/actions/view-refresh.svg #you can choose other icon
Name=LXDE Refresh
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
StartupNotify=false

Run it from system menù (for convenience you can add an icon in the launch bar panel)

Sometimes this happens while using Compiz. Type within a terminal
compiz-decorator --replace &

wow, this is crazy, but this just happened to me as well! (And the fix was great, btw. Thanks, utu!) Any idea why this happens, though, and is this bug resolved already? (but just not in Knoppix yet)
