What is this panel?

Vyacheslav · 2016-06-09 12:49:50

Hello!
I`m using minimal ubuntu 14.04.4 with manually installed Xfce 4.10.

I have a xfce4-panel installed, and if I launch it in terminal, then new panel appears on the left monitor. But on the right monitor I have this (default?) panel: strange panel

What is the name of the app of this panel?
How could I customize it (right click gives nothing)? Or at least how to disable it in order to replace with xfce4-panel?

I think that is a Gnome panel

Indeed, that looks like GNOME's panel. I haven't seen that in a while and I don't know if this still works, but you may need to hold down the left Alt button when you right click to make changes.

dpkg --list | grep gnome-panel

gives no results. As well as holding Alt or Ctrl or Win buttons and clicking.

And

dpkg --list | grep panel

shows

It's possible that the panel you want is part of some other package. Try running this from a command line:

ps aux | grep panel | grep -v grep

and see if anything interesting shows up. If not, replace panel with applet. BTW, you are aware, I hope, that Ubuntu 14.x has all reached End Of Life and is no longer supported, although I think that the members of the Ubuntu Support Forum take that a tad too literally. (The only advice they'll give you is that unless you upgrade they can't help you, even if they know the answer.)

I am wholly unfamiliar with it, but might it be something related to "Unity?" That's an Ubuntu thing, I think.

You might try running Task Manager, sort by CPU load (whatever it's called), and then watching to see what appears towards the top of the list when you mess with whatever it is that you're trying to identify.

Ubuntu 14.04 is supported until 2019 (April, IIRC). That's why it is deemed to be a Long-Term Support version.

Gives nothing.

MountainDewManiac, the process that takes on CPU is "gnome-shell". So I think, I found the answer.

Thanks, to all.
