I just spent the better half of this day upgrading my Ubuntu, from 8.04 to 8.10, then finally to 9..
9 loaded up for the first time and for some reason i have no gnome panels.
I got a few applications up , and when i minimize them you see them scoot off to the bottom( where my old panels lived-ms style) i searched around the forums and only thing i found that made any difference was reseting the gnome panels to the original
gconftool-2 --shutdown
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel
now when i minimize an app it shoots off to the top. so im gussing the panels are living there now, all invisible.
i have to use ctrl-alt-f1 to get to the terminal, or shell whatever, when i type gnome-panel i get a error returned cannot open display..
My video card, and compiz all work, i can turn on desktop fx and all..
One thing i did notice that might not be anything at all but i guess worth mentioning. When i run top.. all of the running processes seem to start with a k i don't know why i noticed that , but im new to this OS and thought the K stood for kubuntu or w/e..
