[SOLVED] pannles missing!! help!!

[crazypenguin2008]

i dont knwo what i did or how i did it but the top and bottom pannels are gone. the top pannel has the wireless manager and all the system and stuff and the bottom pannel has all the tabs that are open,pidgin convs,trash,work spaces ect.

how do i get them back? its quite agervating

[hellion0]

Try Alt+F2, and type in "gnome-panel" to the dialog that pops up.

[crazypenguin2008]

alt and f2 does nothing

[hellion0]

Pressing Alt and F2 at the same time should have given you a Run dialog. If it didn't, you might have bigger issues.

[crazypenguin2008]

it gives me nothing


but i can switch worksapces via the cube and as long as i have a pidgin messe up the panels are there.


there has to be a way to reverse what ever was done.

[crazypenguin2008]

ran gnome-panel in terminal and heres what it said

cummins12valve@cummins12valve-desktop:~$ gnome-panel
A panel is already running.
cummins12valve@cummins12valve-desktop:~$

ive brought the panels up by leaving a a message window up and gone in to panel preferences and everything look to be normaal. only thing i did earlier was enable hide panel buttons on the panles but then i took them back off and pooofff the pannels was gone.

help!! please im at my witts end here

You turned off the hide panel buttons, but was there also something like Autohide enabled?

[crazypenguin2008]

there is enable autohide and it is unchecked. hell should i check it and see what happnes...it cant hide somthing thats not there..maybe it will bring them back

[crazypenguin2008]
