i turned on my box and my start/taskbar is like gone
um how do I get it back ?
the one thing I noticed on start up it says
“error getting immou info is the immo enabled
error initializing immouv2
Device 1002:9074 not added due to errors”
sorry Iam useing mate desktop if I right click I have create folder , create launcher , create document, organize by name , keep aligned-!: change desktop back ground
I read it a bit different, i.e. that the entire panel is gone. If that is the case, right click in the desktop, unlock Widgets, right click again, Add Panel > Default panel, and you should be back in business
It looks as if a recent update broke MATE. And that seems to be your problem.
You should be able to login to Icewm. From there, you can run Yast Software Management.
Search for “mate-menu”.
You will need to revert 3 packages to the version in the main repo, instead of the updated version (which is in the update repo). Those are “mate-menus”, “mate-menus-lang” and “libmate-menu2”. For each, click on the “Version” tab, and select the version from the main repo.
That should get you back to the desktop before that update.
If that works, you might want to then lock those packages (right click in Yast Software Management) so that they are not accidentally updated.
Then I hope a MATE user will file a bug report so that this is fixed quickly.
That would be https://bugzilla.opensuse.org where you can use the credentials you use here to login. Report the bug against Leap 15.1, provide as much info as you can, f.e. a URL to this thread.
