Hi Surya,

Xpad cannot handle the current Ubuntu systray / notification area.
For that reason, the icon in the systray is missing and you cannot open the menu with the pads.

As a workaround, it might help you to:

[Right click] on the pad which is open ->
[Preferences] ->
[Startup] ->
[Display pads] ->
[Open all pads]
[Log out] / [log in]

Can you access your pads again?

Hello Aurthur,

Thank you for the reply. The workaround works.
