[solved] KDE 4.1 lost the taskbar.

Last night I accidentaly deleted the task bar in KDE, I have managed to create a new panel with app launch and system tray, but It dosn't show the running programs accross the bottom.
How do I restore the default taskbar?  Root account still has the default but I can't figure out were the setting are stored.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks byte, that got me in the right direction, It was actually called Task Manager though, I'd ignored that one thinking it would be to start the System Activity window.
Now I'm just missing the buttons to switch between desktops.
Edit: Found it, it's called pager.
Figured out what all the widgets were called by logging in as root (I had not messed that up:)) then add widgets and select currently running widgets from the listbox wrote those down then logged back in to my user account to set that up right.

    Hey warren1!
    You may want to check to make sure you have the iCloud Control Panel for Windows installed on your computer:

    If it is installed, but is an older version or is having issues, you may want to uninstall the program, then reinstall the latest version.Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Lost some taskbar toolbars from Lenovo

    Greetings,
    On a new Lenovo T440 I updated the Message Center Plus software along with the wireless drivers and I lost the taskbar toolbars.
    "Lenovo Solution Center" and "Access Connections".
    Is there any ways to restore these 2 toolbars on the taskbar please?
    Please note that reinstalling the softwares did not make them reappear.
    Thanks a lot for your time and help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The history:
    MCP came out maybe in vista days, if not before hand.
    Simpletap came out as another sotfware product, in 2009,  initial windows 7 release. (It is now sunsetted).
    --- It provided a Tiles screen to select a program(on touchpad screens). 
    LSC came out in Feb, 2012.
    Over time,the 3 products shared (at times)  a common ICON in  the task bar(using deskband/tapband exec or similar).
    All of this is cleared up with the latest release of MCP and LSC.  Simpletap is history.
    A mix and match of the various versions will exhibit a issue.   
    LSC did not replace MCP,but what shows up in the ICON area might be a touch  confusing. Update to current.
    Glad you are solved.
    I do not know what ICON interface access connections uses. I dont see any value in using MCP these days.
    If your have simpletap, keep it uninstalled. If going out of the country, access connections is the one to work.
    Newest LSC has moved away from the shared icon.
    You might not have simpletap (program)  or ever heard of it. You just clicked the ICON. Probably older MCP (using common deskband/tapband interface).
    Matches all your symptoms.

  • [Solved] KDE 4.10: The taskbar isn't transparent any more

    Hi,
    after the upgrade from KDE 4.9 to KDE 4.10 I noticed, that the taskbar isn't transparent any more.
    So, up to now I couldn't find the settings to change that, that's why I just want to ask how I can get back the taskbar transparency?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Same: opengl is broken, even crashes kwin on start up. Only xrender compositing is working now. Even starting a new .kde4 folder hasn't fixed it. I guarantee it's f#@* Catalyst again.

  • [solved] Upgrade to KDE 4.7: lost notes widgets

    I'm an avid user of KDE notes widget. Unfortunately, KDE 4.7 lost all my notes widgets..
    After a bit of panic (there's some important stuff on my notes), I've been able to restore the contents of the notes by searching into file ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc .. your notes will be there encoded in HTML. Just copy and paste that to an newly created .html file and open it with your favorite browser. Then copy and paste to a new notes widget in the new system.
    Hope this helps,

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
    IF the iPad is working ok but is signed in to another users Apple ID use the Settings app to sign out of the old ID and sign in to your Apple ID.
    Settings > itunes and App Store > tap on the applie ID and sign out > sign in with your Apple ID.
    you should then be able to download or purchase apps using your Apple ID.

  • Why the taskbar(KDE 4) is resetted every time?

    Actually, you don't even need to logout and log in if you do
    kquitapp plasma & plasma
    In any case, however, your kde does not quit cleanly and therefore does not save the plasma settings. If the problem is plasma (or some plasma widget), you should get a backtrace in konsole when issuing the above command. If not, something else screws with kde's shutdown.

  • [SOLVED] KDE issues (takes 10 minutes to start, oxygen theme)

    Hi everyone,
    after today's update, KDE is taking about 10 minutes to fully start (instead of 5 seconds - i have an SSD), about 3-4 minutes to get over the splash screen,
    then 3-4 minutes black desktop, and then slowly the taskbar, then the icons on systray and so on.
    First i thought the changes with the "filesystem" package totally broke KDE, but no, it starts if i wait... the CPU, HDD are on idle, i have no idea what is waiting for
    so long, also i have no idea what to check in which logs ... help is appreciated or any idea where i could start checking.
    Also the oxygen theme is gone from GTK apps, like firefox, i have the ugly old gtk style ... (like here http://www.gefoo.org/generalfoo/uploads … 4.8.1.png)
    Thanks.

    Hi pbera and thanks,
    i did the
    pacman -Rn oxygen-gtk2 oxygen-gtk3
    pacman -S oxygen-gtk2 oxygen-gtk3
    restarted firefox, nothing ... after reboot however it's ok now, all gtk apps have the oxygen style (probably something wasn't updated with the oxygen package update ... who knows).
    About KDE i suspected it's the Network manager to blame since i noticed later that it was completely missing, so i removed and installed again, rebooted but still the same 10 minutes untill kde loads ...
    then i remembered that i renamed the /sbin to /sbin.old and the /usr/sbin to /usr/sbin.old because there ware some files in it before the update, despite
    $ pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -
    telling me that no one uses those folders, the following files ware left in them:
    ls /sbin.old/
    ls -l /sbin.old/
    total 92
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18880 Oct 12 2012 halt
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40624 Oct 12 2012 init
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 12 2012 poweroff -> halt
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 12 2012 reboot -> halt
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6280 Oct 12 2012 runlevel
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23304 Oct 12 2012 shutdown
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 12 2012 telinit -> init
    and
    ls /usr/sbin.old/
    ck-log-system-restart ck-log-system-stop dl10k1 ld10k1d rc.d
    ck-log-system-start console-kit-daemon ld10k1 NetworkManager
    now, i took these files (of which a bunch are junk for sure) and copied back into the new /usr/bin, rebooted, and bingo ...
    I marked the topic as solved, but i have no idea which of these files caused the issue. The only single one that was of these present in the new usr/bin was the NetworkManager, which i reinstalled as I mentioned already ... so, i have no clue why, but it's working fine now ...
    [strike]edit: i wanted to ask, which package contains the poweroff, reboot, etc. commands? since those ware left in the old sbin and pacman didn't know of any package containing them.[/strike]

  • [SOLVED] KDE 4.5: Device Notifier does not show CDs anymore

    During one of the last updates KDE's Device Notifier lost the ability to display CDs I put into my CD drives. USB sticks  do show up correctly. DBUS and HAL are running, the device Manager is configured to show up all removable medias. I can manually mount the CDs by using the mount command. Also if I connect the drive to my virtualbox XP installation they autoplay correctly. So this is no hardware failure.
    I just want to put a CD in and the device manager should pop up and inform me of the actions that are possible. KDE 4.4 did this, KDE 4.5 does not. I am using the testing repo and my system is up-to-date.
    Any advice?

    xvello,
    The issue might be in hal
    I could hug you
    You're absolutely right. Hal was the culprit. Under /etc/hal/fdi/information/ there were two files "media-check-disable-storage_model_<my CDs model name>" and both of them had a line:
    <merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
    Setting them to
    <merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">true</merge>
    reenabled the notification of KDE's device Notifier.
    As users always say: I never changed this
    Marking this as solved.
    Thanks a lot

  • Not getting notifications in the taskbar anymore

    Hey,
    i just tried a lot of stuff and it still doesn't work so i'll ask here.
    Status:
    my Skype showed Notifications in the taskbar and played a sound when i got a new message till 3 or 4 days ago.
    I didn't change anything in Skype and i'm not aware that i changed anything on my pc since then.
    EDIT: Additionally i just found out, i dont have Notification or message counter for new messages besides the contact name/picture in the skype window. I don't hear the sound when skype is the active window and i am in a different conversation and someone messages me. (NO MESSAGE NO SOUND NOTIFICATION ???). Only when im in the conversation already i hear the sound, and thats because i ticked that option in the skype sound menu to test.
    My sound settings are on, my skype settings for incoming messages are on. If someone calls me i get the ring sound. In the taskbar theres no orange indicator anymore for new messages.
    What I already did:
    - installed over my current installation
    - did a clean install (deleted appdata folder)
    - restarted pc
    - unpined and pined the program to the taskbar, tried without pinning it
    - ran as administrator and without it
    running Windows 7 on newest updates, drivers are updated, rest of the pc runs fine, skype version 6.21.0.104, if you need additional infos tell me
    ATM I'm rather clueless where the problem is, it kinda just appeared. It's really annoying if i don't hear nor see when i have new messages.
    any help is appreciated
    [Removed for privacy]
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Given the number of users with notification problems, and always the same remedy "click on user, go to Conversation menu, edit Notification Settings" I was rather thinking of a small Skype gui design flaw here. Why isn't the Notification Settings entry listed in the -context- menu? (right click on user)
    Until now I've always been thinking that the top menu bar Notification Settings entry was some -global- setting, for all users at once.
    Thx,
    Andre

  • Itunes seems to have lost the ability to play purchased video

    Before posting here, I've searched all over the place for a solution to this problem, I found many people who have very similar issues, some solved them, but their solutions haven't worked for me, others with problems closer to how'd I'd describe mine have yet to find a solution
    My problem is, when I try to watch purchased tv shows, the video playback is horribly choppy. Most of the time it's like watching a screenshot with audio. (audio plays fine). I've tried all the suggestions of disabling direct3d etc to no avail. I have a brand new pretty beefy system that should have no problems running the video at all. The oddest thing though, is that early today the video worked fine, which confirms that it's not hardware insufficiency. After downloading 2 shows this evening, I watched them with perfectly smooth playback. After getting a few more tv shows, itunes suddenly lost the ability to playback smoothly, even after closing, opening itunes again, rebooting my computer, none of it helped. The only thing left to try which I will try if nobody has any idea what the problem might be, is to completly uninstall itunes and try reinstalling it again, since earlier the playback was fine.
    Has anyone else encountered anything at all like this? Nothing about my system has changed since earlier this evening, I already had the most recent version of itunes when everything was working fine. No display drivers or any of that has changed. It was only a matter of a few minutes between smooth playback and where my itunes perminatly lost the ability to playback video properly.
    I appoligize for the long winded message but I wanted to cover all the bases so people don't end up suggesting stuff I've already tried. The only clue that might be related is during download of one of the shows Windows Vista popped up the message that itunes had stop working, and I could try and find a solution or close the application. I just closed itunes and opened it again. Everything seemed fine but it may be (not positive though) that it was immediatly after that that the video nolonger played properly.

    Post in the iTunes Windows section. This is the iTunes Mac area.
    Make sure that your Quicktime is up to date.

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have a SATA controlled hard drive. Apparently, there's some kind of bug with SATA disks and Vista and Quicktime/itunes video...and possibly Nvidia is involved as well.
    The workaround is sticking the video on a flash drive in order to play it (because that avoids the SATA controller and thus bypasses the issue). It's a crappy workaround, IMO...and I'm not spending another cent on iTunes videos until the issue is actually fixed.
