By task bar I mean the bar that normally runs along the bottom of
the screen that contains the Application Launcher (menu), pagers,
running applications, system tray, etc..
This has
been going on for a few weeks. I was hoping that it would
get fixed but instead it's gotten worse.
I'm running Debian/Testing on an AMD64 machine - with KDE
obviously.
When I reboot my computer, which I only do every week or
so depending on on how it's behaving, the task bar is
missing after I log in. Up until today, I could log out
and it would reappear with the second login.
By task bar, do you mean a Plasma panel? I am not
experiencing the same issue. Does it happen when you add
another panel too (to that panel)? Something may have gone
wrong during an update at some point. Also, it may help to
not lock your widgets between reboots. Last week there was
a minor issue with icons not appearing in the system tray
that was fixed by that.
Today it's just gone. A quick trip to Google came up with:
kquitapp plasmashell && kstart plasmashell
which brought it back.
Just wanted to bring this to people's attention since
reportbug doesn't seem to have done that.
