ubunut 10.04 Lucid Lynx "panel not responding"
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and started facing a weird issue - sometimes the gnome panel doesnt load.
I used to do a reboot until the panel loads properly.
Today even after the second reboot it didnt load properly.
I did search and found that gnome-weather-applet is the culprit ( thats one of my fav apps :( )
I want to kill the gnome-panel and start it again. ALT+F2 didnt work for me
This is what helped me :
Right click the desktop and choose 'Create Launcher'.
Give it a name like Terminal the command is 'gnome-terminal'
Click OK
Now, run the terminal and kill the gnome-panel
$ killall gnome-panel
and start it
$ gnome-panel --replace
Your panel and system should be completely functional now minus the weather applet.
(You can disable the weather applet next time the panel loads fine or boot with live cd and disable it)
