There is no obvious reason why just installing system monitor should affect the top panel. I use it regularly. Does System Monitor show the process wingpanel
? If this process stops (or is killed) the top panel will disappear but it should be automatically restarted by another process (cerbere). If wingpanel is not running and not restarting, is the process cerbere
running (it is amongst the background processes)? If so, check the setting io/elementary/desktop/cerbere/monitored-processes
using dconf-editor or otherwise. Wingpanel should be one or the monitored-processes.
Try typing wingpanel
into a terminal to restart it in order to log out/restart.
I have had trouble with wingpanel (and the dock) not appearing when I have logged out while plugged into two external monitors and logged back in after unplugging the external monitors so I set up custom keyboard shortcuts to restart them (Settings/Keyboard/Shortcuts) - the commands are just "wingpanel" and "plank".
@oyamabilana Can you be more explicit about which system monitor you've installed? Have you added any PPAs or copied any Terminal commands from the internet?
@danrabbit it's Monitor v0. 6.1 - by Stanislaw Dac. I have not added any packages whatsoever, Monitor was the first app i installed which was through the appcenter. No terminal commands by the time of the error as I was still simply using the GUI for everything. I will upload some logs if any bugs persists as I'm constantly getting bugs, unless I can list all of them under one report?
@oyamabilana I'm unable to reproduce any issue after installing Monitor by Stanislaw from AppCenter. Can you try running wingpanel
from Terminal and copy/paste the output here?
It would be better to open separate issue reports if you are encountering a different issue so that the issue can be tracked against the correct project and assigned to the correct developer
@danrabbit, the wingpanel was back after a hard reset. I'll post the log if I encounter it again. Or is it possible to retrieve data on the log that happened at least 15 hours ago?
Please feel free to reopen the issue if it is reproducible. Since it sounds like the issue can no longer be reproduced, I'm going to close this report as incomplete
After installing System monitor from the App centre, the App icon, Notifications panel including other controls (battery Percentage, date, time, wife etc) on the top panel don't show. This is a clean install of "elementary OS 5.1 Hera", as of writing I've been using it for 2 hours of which it has already crashed, but that's a story for another post.
