I did an 'emerge -avDuN world' after not updating for 2 months and now the xfce4 panel won't start. It doesn't come up on its own like it used to, and running xfce4-panel from a terminal returns this: (xfce4-panel:18104): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/emblems of theme F lat-Blue has no size field (xfce4-panel:18104): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed cannot open /proc/net/dev! not running Linux? cannot open /proc/net/dev! not running Linux? cannot open /proc/net/dev! not running Linux? The last two lines repeat over and over. The panel actually loads for about a second and then disappears. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xcfe4-panel 2. 3. Actual Results: panel won't load Expected Results: loaded panel
I've found that running xfce4-panel in the terminal does actually load the panel, but the terminal screen continues on and on with the /proc/net/dev message. The panel won't load on its own at startup like it used to.
Fixed. Don't remember how.
