Ubuntu – Menu launcher stopped working

autohideunity

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with a working auto-hide launcher bar, i.e., the touch to the left of the screen revealed the menu. It has stopped working perhaps the result of an automatic update. I have tried setting the sensitivity to no avail. I have turned off the auto-hide feature so that I have access to the bar.

It's related to the new Nvidia 304.51 drivers, it's a known bug with no fix at the moment, the only way to get the panel behaviour back is to revert to the previous driver release version.

Try changing the Launcher Reveal Pressure. The default is 20. You might consider setting it at 1 and systematically try other settings to pick the ideal one.

You can get to this configuration through CCSM (the CompizConfig Settings Manager).

Click on Desktop -> Ubuntu Unity Plugin -> Launcher and change the 'Launcher Reveal Pressure'.

You may have to install it. This can be done by:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
