Gnome Panel dissappeared

Asked by Koroush

I turned on my computer today and the panels on the top and bottom of the screen are both gone. I have found a solution to this problem on the Ubuntu help forums, but cannot try it because it requires the use of a terminal. Since I do not have a launcher for the terminal on my desktop and the alt-f2 command no longer works without the panel. I have rebooted the system three times now, including soft and hard boots to no avail.

My computer is a Dell m1530, processor 2.4 ghz, memory 3gb, graphics card nvidia 512mb, I am running Hardy Heron 8.04. Please let me know if you require more information.

Have you tried right clicking the desktop and creating a launcher for gnome-terminal or gnome panel?

OK

Looks like you have messed up your ubuntu desktop..

Course to a terminal (Press cntrl + alt +f1 or f2 in the login screen) Or boot up in recovery mode (Usually 2nd option in grub menu)

and give the following command:

sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop

and

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

and reboot your system..

sudo reboot

Hope it helps

Bhavani Shankar.
