my toolbar panel is not in my desktop anymore! after remove and adding the abiword again and updating my system i restart, when it came back the toolbar was gone! now all i have in my desktop is the ubuntu forum! PLEASE HELP ME!

[smith3]

if it is "normal" gnome-panel you have lost u can right click on existing panel and click new panel

then right click that panel and click add to panel , it will display a list of items u can add to panel

thank you for reply smith3 but my problem is that there is no panel! no menubar! all i have is the desktop picture and ubuntu forum icone! there is nothing else to click accept the desktop!

[smith3]

hit alt f2

run gnome-panel

see if that works if not

run
gconf-editor

look that up on Google and u can set up panels in there

Let me know how it goes

hey smith3, thank you very much for the help! I solved the problem, but alt+f2 doesn't work for me! nothing came on, so i try ctrl+alt+f1 i don't know if is the same! but from there i'd managed to fix it with (sudo apt-get install gnome-panel) thanks, Alex.

i have the same prob and idk wat to do and alt+f2 isnt working

[smith3]

alt f2 cant work if panels are not running , as it is part of the gnome-panel, i did not think of that.
