Re: [GLOSS :2302] Re: Panels and title bar don't appear.

[vk]

run terminal and enter the following commands:

gconftool-2 -shutdown
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel

or

there is a script here .. just run it.

this should reset the panels..

open terminal and enter following command.

gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel

If It won't work then restart.
Panels will be appeared.

As you said panels don't appear and also alt+f2 is not working then how will you open terminal?
Try ctrl+alt+t . It is a default shortcut for opening terminal in ubuntu 10.04.

Shailesh,
My post got approved so late .
Before your reply, I sent that vk's script worked.
But it was on moderation queue...

Before starting this topic, i ran "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-
panel" which didn't reset the panel.. (got this from an ubottu factoid)

Vk's method worked successfully.

Can you tell me why this failed and the vk's have
succeeded ?
