    Question [SOLVED] gdm pannels

    Hi, I have a 1.25GH emac G4 dual booting ubuntu and osx. One time when I booted ubuntu the whole bottom panel was blank. the top panel was bland except for my app launchers and the power button.

    Why is this happening?

    Sometimes the Gnome panels get flaky. Next time it happens, try:
    Code:
    kill $(ps -e | grep gnome-panel)
    gnome-panel
    It might help.

    Sorry it didn't help. The next best thing to try is:
    Code:
    mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome-OLD
    mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2-OLD
    This will wipe out your current Gnome configuration and replace it with a fresh one using default settings. If you don't mind having to start over again, this command will hopefully get rid of whatever was causing the gnome-panel problem.
