Any text below only affects the Pre-Alpha of FocusPoint Linux “Blue Hour” released earlier this week and no other previously released versions. If you have upgraded to the 24.04 Ubuntu base in terminal this does indeed affect you as well.
Update, we have now made a workaround the issues made in this post! There is a problem with the xfce4-panel in the Ubuntu 24.04 base (the one we, and Linux Mint are on)
The problem is that whenever you restart the xfce4-panel it throws a nasty error and simply will not start up again. We found that out today after doing a massive amount of troubleshooting. So this is not caused by us (or Linux Mint) but by Canonical/Ubuntu as they pushed a update of Glib 2.80, with xfce4-panel 4.18.4 while version 4.18.6 is required when using Glib 2.80
In our welcome app we restart the xfce4-panel each time you change any theme settings that affects the panel as it throws a nasty error and simply will not start up again. A temporary workaround is to open a terminal window by hitting ALT+Ctrl+T and simply type xfce4-panel (and hit Enter) This will start xfce4-panel again, then simply click close on the terminal window (this throws a warning, click yes).
We have a couple of solutions as a workaround, but we simply need to test them a bit before settling on the best one.
