dl9sec Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi, yesterday i did as usual an apt-get update/upgrade on my Armbian 19.11.3 (on a good old and always well working Bananapi M1). After that the desktop starts, but without showing the taskbar anymore. It was some kind of invisible, when i clicked the the upper left corner, the menu drops down. Unfortunately nearly nothing starts by clicking. The preferences are shown without any icons. Ok, time for a fresh install. I took the latest stable image Armbian Bionic 19.11.6 and put it on a SD card. System starts in console mode, i did all the setup stuff and installed the desktop. But the fresh installed desktop also started without the taskbar. Same issue as with the predecessor installation. Here ist the diagnostic information: http://ix.io/27OW Any hints? I saw, that with the last apt-get update some desktop stuff (armbian-desktop) has been updated. Maybe some bugs there? Thank you in advance.

Igor Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Try images with legacy 4.19.y kernel. Edit: I don't have this problem with a self build image which means it will be fixed soon.

dl9sec Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hmmm, didn't spot such a warning message neither in dmesg nor in syslog. Can i simply switch to such a kernel through the "Other" menu in armbian-config? -> Yes, I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl9sec Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Ok, installed the legacy 4.19-84-sunxi kernel and the taskbar reappeared Nevertheless some things are strange. When I try to start the "Terminal Emulator" or "Armbian config" from the menu, nothing happens and syslog gave the following messages: Jan 19 15:39:30 localhost dbus-daemon[1451]: [session uid=1000 pid=1451] Activating via systemd: service name='org.gnome.Terminal' unit='gnome-terminal-server.service' requested by ':1.47' (uid=1000 pid=2102 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real ") Jan 19 15:39:30 localhost systemd[1327]: Starting GNOME Terminal Server...

Jan 19 15:42:16 localhost systemd[1327]: Failed to start GNOME Terminal Server. It seems something is wrong with the locales. I generated de_DE.UTF-8 in armbian-config, but locale shows all other than de_DE.UTF-8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl9sec Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Ok, used sudo locale-gen sudo update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 Now everything works fine again. But it seems, that armbian-config does something wrong with the locales setting. It shows emty brackets at "Personal -> Locales" although de_DE.UTF-8 is set. Thank you for the valuable hint with the kernel bug. Looking forward to the next version (hopefully running) Regards, Thorsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
