Top panel disappeared

[dtommy79]

Hi,

My brother managed to make all my menu bars disappear. I don't have the top menu where I can log out, and the side menu also disappeared. So right now there is nothing on my screen.

How can I bring them back?

Thanks

It sounds like part of your desktop envirnment defaults got changed or misconfigured.

Try restarting your computer first.
IF that doesn't work than you might have to operate in console mode only if the links to the articles I posted don't work.

Try the first link.
If that doesn't work I posted 2 other articles that I found that should help-

Thanks for the reply.

I tried those options but no luck. Nothing happens.

Actually this happened with another user account. When I log in with my user account everything is fine, but when I log in with my brother's all the menus are missing.

Hi, There is a post in Ask Ubuntu on this topic at this link:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/28608...n-ubuntu-13-04

You could try these commands at the terminal


dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
then enter:

unity --reset-icons &disown

reboot if necessary.
