When I boot into `PERSISTENT Mode | SYSMAINT Session | system maintenance tasks` the System Maintenance Panel never appears. Why is this? Is there a way to manually open once I am in it with a keybind or something? I rebooted the system and that didn’t fix it either.

Could you share a screenshot of the issue (or a photo of the screen if this is on a physical computer)? This shouldn’t be possible with Kicksecure 18 with the default desktop environment due to how the desktop background is displayed, but it could occur on Kicksecure 17 and might occur if you’re using X11. A screenshot will give me some visual clues as to which one you’re using, especially if it includes the panel/bar at the top of the screen.

The ISO I downloaded is `Kicksecure-LXQt-18.1.4.2.Intel_AMD64` and the top bar looks identical to the screenshot on the Wiki.
wiki/System_Maintenance_Panel (Can’t post links)
The background is also the same but there is no pop-up. It’s on a separate laptop but I could get a picture if these clues don’t help you.

If it has the bright yellow background behind the “Volume” indicator, you’re using Wayland, not X11, which is a good thing.
A couple more ideas:
- If you press Alt+Tab, does the window show up?
- If you press Ctrl+Alt+T, then run
sysmaint-panel, do any errors appear?

Ahh, was wondering the command to pull up the panel, that did it for me!
No errors, just doesn’t appear automatically, no big deal though.
Thanks so much for your help @arraybolt3 !

Glad to hear it worked! I’m still a bit worried to hear that it doesn’t appear automatically (it’s supposed to, and on my end it does), I’ll see if I can make the same issue happen using the ISO you used.
Edit: Just tested in a virtual machine, can’t reproduce the issue here.

It might’ve been an alt-tab issue, will reboot and see if I can alt-tab to view it.
Edit: Can confirm, all I had to do was alt-tab. It was popped up just not in the foreground.
