Ultimate Edition Forum

Hi everybody,
By a mistake I've deleted the topmost panel of my Ultimate Edition 2.8 (The main one that has the power button and all the launching menus and all). And i cannot find any way to restore it. Is there a way to restore it or do I have to reinstall??

Click add to panel on the top bar

now add

indicator applet session

menu bar

notification area

clock

that does it for defaults

there is no way to delete the main panel, one must always remain.

you can move the panel top to bottom via right click / properties

you can add another panel via right click and add panel

you can recover a non functional panel via this code

alt-f2

Code: Select all

killall gnome-panel

Start the panel via

alt-f2

Code: Select all

gnome-panel

Thanks for the quick reply though i must admit you are a bit wrong,
all panel vanished, but luckily enough i had the chromium desktop link so i googled it out... a set of commands

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --shutdown

rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

pkill gnome-panel

solved it for me. Thanks anyway.

Glad ya got it working.

advice given is still highly sound in most instances.

your case was somewhat rare one.
