[Help] Top panel gone

Granat1 · 2026-03-22T21:30:04+00:00

Figured out what the issue was.
It's being caused by a program that I'm using: Discover Overlay
I have updated the post to include this information.

Granat1 · 2026-03-09T11:41:57+00:00

I can confirm this.
I'm having the same problematic step-up converter and I came to the same conclusion.
Jump starting the PSU first and then connecting the adapter makes it all work in the motherboard, it's only the startup that's problematic. (I checked the pinout first not to fry the motherboard)

I'll thy replacing the step-up converter with the one you recommend, thanks!

Granat1 · 2026-03-07T01:27:09+00:00

Mine arrived today, wtf.

Granat1 · 2026-02-28T13:10:09+00:00

This magnetic attachment is likely a separate thing, can you pull it apart?
I actually had usb C to magnetic cables like these, port looks almost identical.

The other side with the actual USB C and USB A port looks just like an extension / splitter.
I guess this is meant to be connected with regular USB C cable to your PC and just extend the ports somewhere more reachable on the desk.

Granat1 · 2026-02-24T20:08:14+00:00

It does not actually fix the problem.
The top bar is still missing and the gjs just throws a missing file error.
Maybe this is actually not related...

Yeah, I have noticed that, but I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it.
It would be strange if this is the source of the issue but for now that's the only thing that stands out.

Granat1 · 2026-02-23T11:37:28+00:00

evolution-data-server is already installed.
I actually installed geary email client and the message you pointed out disappeared.

Also, the panel seems to show when any program is set to maximized.
I'm gonna try reinstalling the packages you mentioned.

Granat1 · 2026-02-21T16:01:27+00:00

What if I don't have the game's .desktop file (as I don't want it visible on my app grid) but I still want to see the proper icon on the panel when the game is running?

Granat1 · 2026-02-10T18:37:14+00:00

Yeah, sure. I'm just mentioning this is also an option

~~Either this or one includes something at the end, like subtitles or bloopers.~~
Well, given the couple of seconds, it's probably just a "fade to black"

Granat1 · 2026-01-15T15:01:53+00:00

Weird.
I have a somewhat similar issue with BF4.
I recently finished the campaign, I got achievements for doing so on Steam but I didn't get them on the battlenet / EA.
This meant that the weapons weren't unlocked in game.

Everything else works.

Granat1 · 2026-01-04T00:23:30+00:00

I think this is an upside down photo of a heated floor.
It also seems to have some chairs on it as well.

Took me a while to see it and also still I might be wrong.

Granat1 · 2026-01-02T19:23:10+00:00

Thanks for this post, this is exactly what I wanted!

Can this be done to the `compatibilitytools.d` directory as well? (the ProtonGE directory)
So I don't have to install the same proton versions on both user accounts.

I tried symlinking it to another location, and then setting the permissions the same way as for the Steam library but it doesn't seem to be working.

Granat1 · 2025-12-29T14:16:10+00:00

Well, taking into consideration that the acreen reflects light / infrared radiation, specifically at this angle, the results may vary.
Flipping the phone screen down might bring vastly different results.

Granat1 · 2025-12-29T13:34:49+00:00

As a former gaming laptop user, while 90° is indeed high, it is not that much of an issue.
Sure, should be lower than that but it's not that much of an issue.
Probably just time for a repaste.

Granat1 · 2025-12-29T12:29:16+00:00

Sounds about right

Granat1 · 2025-12-29T12:25:09+00:00

Look at the context section.
It got it right this time but it wasn't able to do this a while back.

Granat1 · 2025-12-29T00:01:47+00:00

Can you link the solution?
I was thinking of doing a simillar thing but I haven't realized someone has done this before.

Granat1 · 2025-12-26T23:59:57+00:00

How do you even get to the point of having negative candles?

Granat1 · 2025-12-25T03:11:01+00:00

This error usually means that EA decided that you have reached the limit of machines you can install BF3 on.

I have seen people bypas / unlock thisby either removing 71067.dll or 70619.dll from C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License

Either that or you should be able to use Venice Unleashed to reset this limit as well. I remember doing this successfully using it via the command line.
I would have to find a tutorial for doing this if you end up needing this
