A transparent, auto-hiding button bar was created on the left edge of the screen. It had all my most-frequently used programs on it. Was trying to add another program and accidentally clicked "Remove "Application Launch Bar" From Panel or Delete This Panel. (Dumb touchpad likes to move when finger is lifted.) Anyways it disappeared, and now another one cannot be created on the left edge. Positon Edge: Left is greyed out. How can this be remedied?
My lubuntu 18.04 desktop isn't responding. So I would like to restart it.
Only virtual consoles respond, so I ctrl alt f2 to switch to one.
I first kill lxpanel and openbox processes, so they are not running.
Then try to restart them by
DISPLAY=:0 lxpanelctl restart && DISPLAY=:0 openbox --restart
But ps -A shows they are still not running. How shall I restart them?
I am sort of new lubuntu, I have installed redshift and kde-connect which was perfectly indicated in indicator applet. After restarting my laptop indicator applet and application of it started not working (sound indicator included) does anyone has an idea how to fix it?
Thank you
I first tried a four-year-old solution and then, after it became clear that clicking the keyboard icon of Fcitx was freezing my system via locking up lxpanel, I uninstalled packages as followed under #lubuntu IRC advice:
username@username-Latitude-D620:~$ sudo apt purge fcitx-frontend-gtk3 fcitx-frontend-qt4 fcitx-frontend-qt5 kde-config-fcitx

Reading this Q&A I clicked Preferences > Language Support and installed additional language packages as prompted, i.e. reinstalling the packages I'd just removed:
But I don't have ibus like that other user, only fcitx and XIM. fcitx freezes lxpanel on either the first or second click. What should I do?
Somebody that's visually impaired finds the icons on the panel very small. I'd like to increase the size of the panel.
