Lubuntu Taskbar missing

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 19726 / 2 Years ago, sat, november 5, 2022, 9:10:55

I have recently installed Lubuntu 14.04 but when I start my computer and logs in the only thing I see is my wallpaper and my trashcan.

Lubuntu worked fine when I tried it before installing but now I cant see the taskbar. If I login as guest the taskbar is there.

I also gets a message that says:

Failed to set new theme

Failed to create file '/home/<username>/.cache/xfce4-notifyd-theme.rc.Z095SX': Permission denied

The six last letters and numbers in uppercase seems to be different every time.

Thanks for help :)

Since I wasn't able to find out how to fix this issue I decided to reinstall Lubuntu.
When I installed Lubuntu for the first time I did that because I messed up Ubuntu.
For some reason I deleted the .Xauthority file and after that I wasn't able to use Ubuntu.

So I installed Lubuntu because I used the computer as a server. But under the installation I choose to install Lubuntu "on top of Ubuntu" so I would keep my documents and files. But that didn't delete the .Xauthority file. I think that was the problem. I reinstalled Lubuntu with the option to delete Ubuntu and then install Lubuntu. Now everything works as expected :)
