Top right hand corner of all windows -> no "minimise, maximise, close"

Asked by Matthew Harris

Ok, so i just upgraded to 9.04. while upgrading i lost power (to my entire house). When i turned my computer back on, Windows was working fine (dual booting) but linux was having SERIOUS issues.

Thankfully i got ubuntu working again.. but i had to do the upgrade in "CTRL ALT F1" environment...

Everything seemed fine after i restarted my computer... i got the GUI working again, and it was all looking dandy (minus the fact the minimise, max, and close options wheren't showing up). Next i did

Sudo update
sudo upgrade

in terminal to finish anything that didn't get done when the GUI wasn't working. (Something about dpkg error... in the "CTRL ALT F1" environment )

Got everything up to date and restarted my computer.

Still no "minimise, maximise, close"

so i did Sudo update, sudo upgrade again, and it came back with no results...

Now im stuck

The first problem seems to be that you're using the Intrepid kernel in Jaunty. Try booting the 2.6.28 kernel.

Can you help with this problem?
