Yesterday I updated via "Update manager" and there was about 4 updates to download. I really didn't pay too much attention as to what they were.
Anyway the update went okay and I rebooted. On re-boot my top panel had dissapeared. The bottom one was still there so I used that to create a new panel, posistioned at the top. But it only placed itself under where the original top one was.
I tried right clicking in the top empty space, but nothing happened.
So I moved the new top panel to the left side and set it to auto hide.
The trouble with this, is that it is hidden and refuses to come back out (maybe it can sense my frustration )
I can see it is still there as the cpu monitor that was added, can just be made out working.
So I added a log out button to the bottom panel today and used this to reboot.
On reboot the top panel is back.
So I have one question and one problem left.
How do I get rid of the hidden left side panel and what made this happen?
(I remember from using Xubuntu, that when you selected panel properties you could choose which panel to edit, but sadly this doesn't seem to be the case with Ultimate Edition 2.9, maybe something for the future or an update)
