Hi:
I like to keep my panel on the right margin, to maximize my vertical screen dimension.
I've noticed a problem in Lubuntu 15.10 and the beta of 16.04, but not in 14.04, which is that the panel width defaults to 150 pixels, no matter what I set it at, with each reboot.
This, apparently, is a well-reported bug:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/721756/lxpanel-wont-save-width-settings-when-its-at-the-left-edge
supposedly you can fix it with:
sudo apt-get remove lxpanel-data lxpanel
then you can install lxpanel-data and then lxpanel.
To avoid system auto-update to 0.8.1 you can launch
sudo apt-mark hold lxpanel
sudo apt-mark hold lxpanel-data
And also by changing the icon size by even one pixel.
But neither of those fixes work for me.
I'd happily stay with 14.04, but this runs into another bug, which is that that 14.04 only recognizes 64G of
my 128 GB Kingspec SSD on encrypted install, which doesn't happen with later distros.
Any ideas?
