I just took the plunge and bought myself a new computer to replace my aging MacBook. Here are the specs:

Model: Dell Studio 1555
Processor: Intel Core i5-520M (2.40 GHz)
RAM: 4GB
Graphics Card:...

I think I'm going to spring for a Studio 1555 - I was leaning towards it to begin with, and with confirmation that it works with Ubuntu, my mind is made up.

What version of Ubuntu are you running...

I'm on a mac, and there's no button I can press externally to disable my wireless. How can I disable my wireless? I can disable it from OS X, but without the panel, I can't do that from Ubuntu.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! (Read previous post for summary)

Didn't help :(
All right, I'm gonna try the new user thing.

what do you mean, delete the config files?

How do you add a new user if you can't see the panels?

I tried

gnome-panel --display=:0.0
It spewed out a bunch of text, then ended with "ABORTED". I went back to the desktop, and there was no change. :(

I'll give it a try right now...

Yeah, no change. :(

I put in

killall gnome-panel
but I got this out:

gnome-panel: no process killed
I tried the second one, and it seemed to work all right, but it didn't help at all. Panels are still gone :(

Please, I am unable to do anything on Ubuntu while the panels are gone.

I tried that, and I got this output:



Cannot open display:
Run 'gnome-panel --help' to see a full list of available command line options.


Please help :(

I logged into Ubuntu today, to find both my panels gone. I have restarted about ten times (no, I'm not kidding), to no avail. Please, someone help.
