Doesn't look like it's the same bug as linked to above, at least not in my case. Can also mention that the solution provided in the other post (uninstalling compiz and compiz-core - i didn't even have them installed in the first place) doesn't work for me. neither does running 'pkill gnome-panels', at least not every time and after a restart it's all broken again.
lspci -v output attached. please let me know any commands i can output to attach additional information (i'm a newbie). ** Attachment added: "lspci.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49234674/lspci.txt -- Fresh 10.04 Boots with Partial Panels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
