Fermando, Scot & John/Anyone: <br><br>My Acer Laptop lost its panel "applications"; "places"; "System"; "Shut Down" panel drop down. Nothing remains to restore. Right clicking does not pop up a shut down either; but right clicking does come up with options: "Create Folder, Create Folder, Create Document, Clean up Name, & Change Desktop Background." Can you mention a command that I may write into "terminal" which I can open from the desktop? What terminal fix will "reconstitute" or<br> reconfigure the panel with the icon repopulated?<br> <br> I'd sure appreciate your guidance. [perhaps this resulted from a hyperactive keyboard, which I guess has something to do with a motherboard issue.]<br><br>Kenneth <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 8:07 AM, Scott Lavender <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scottalavender@gmail.com">scottalavender@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im">On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 5:44 AM, Roy Damen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:roydamen@gmail.com" target="_blank">roydamen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Dear John,<br><br>On my machine i had a similar problem with rt. After more than 1,5 year of searching, trying out and lots of help with explanation on the ubuntuforums i discovered that it was this BIOS setting that must be turned off: IOAPIC It seems that ubuntu can manage this by itself(if i understood correctly) I bet this solves your problem too!<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/5/7 jONE <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:producjohns@gmail.com" target="_blank">producjohns@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div> Hi Fernando I've got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ processor too and had problems with the RT kernel since I first installed 8.04 onwards. I tried pretty much everything until a few days ago, when I simply "loaded optimized settings" on my BIOS and believe it or not, no mouse delay and no hanging at all. My hammerfall soundcard's delay <10ms recording 16channels. I honestly don't know what setting in the BIOS messed it up since "optimized settings" or "default settings" options don't specify much and I've tweaked the thing so many times I lost track of what the original setting was! Maybe give that a try?<br> Good luck!<br><br>John<br></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div><div><br>I remember several years ago there were some problems with peoples systems acting sluggish or freezing with the -rt kernel during Hardy.
