Sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart Restarting the X session (or rebooting) will create a new lxpanel config file and the menu bar should now be visible. 1 2 3 4 sudo rm -r /.config/lxpanel startx or sudo reboot This will delete the current user lxpanel config file.

It used to be these but they no longer seem to work with the latest version of raspbian: Simply delete the current user lxpanel config file and restart the X server (or just reboot).
