Ubuntu
gnome-panel package

gnome desktop panels disappeared

Asked by Tom Nichols

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit and my top and bottom panels disappeared out of the blue. I've looked at some of the other answers but none seem to work. How do I get them back? thanks to anyone who can help.

O.K. so I lost my Gnome panels. How do I access my package manager to see if important things are missing?

I was able to solve the problem by going to Google.

Press Alt + F2 or going into recovery mode and type:

sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo reboot

Thanks for replying. Alt + F2 does nothing for me, but Ctrl + Alt + F2
does. I'm using a Acer Ferrari 3400 if that makes any difference. Don't
see why it would.
