Ubuntu

Taskbar

Asked by Azuvil

I'm not sure what happened, but when I boot into a GNOME session, there's no taskbars anymore. I definitely didn't delete it. How do I restore them? I can use the terminal, I just don't know the commands forward and backward. Hope that helps!

Hi

Think this will help you.

You need to open a terminal. If you can't because your panels are gone, then press ctrl+alt+f2 and log in to the terminal that comes up.

After you log in, run this command. The computer will ask for your password, type it in and press enter even though you won't see anything while typing the password in, it is ok.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel

after the command completes, you can press ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to gnome.

If your panels aren't back, you may have to log out and back in.

Good luck.

As aswered by Robert

Open a terminal by press ctrl+alt+f2 and make login with your user and password then type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then type

sudo reboot

to restart your pc.

Hope this helps

I've followed the steps with both methods. Still nothing happening, though a file browser pops up when I log back in. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any other ways you can think of?
