On a new loki installation I have the problem that the wingpanel stops responding after some time. I can then not open the applications menu, clock or indicators.
After a few minutes it sometimes comes back to life and everything works as expceted. Then it suddenly freezes again...
The only additional indicators I have installed is Dropbox.
Does anyone have an idea on how to debug this problem?
We narrowed the issue down to a single indicator, so the temporary fix is to remove it for now:
sudo apt-get remove wingpanel-indicator-powerI'll report back once the bug is resolved, but I otherwise recommend following the report in case more feedback is needed.
sudo apt remove wingpanel-indicator-power. Wingpanel will work after that, obviously without the power indicator.
type pkill wingpanel command in terminal. it will restart the wingpanel
dconf-editor, navigate toorg.pantheon.desktop.cerbereand removewingpanelfrom themonitored-processedsetting. After a reboot wingpanel won't launch automatically. Open a terminal and runwingpanel. This way wingpanel doesn't freeze (running for 2 hours now), you just have to keep the terminal open...Failed to register: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying[AccountsService] act_user_get_user_name: assertion 'ACT_IS_USER (user)' failed
