Command lines disappeard

[uha8]

I just installed the new Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my mothers Eee pc 900 (http://eeepc.asus.com/global/product900.html?n=0). It seemed to work fine except for some lag in the Netbook edition of the desktop, but after restarting a few times all the command lines were suddenly gone, and only the standard desktop was visible. I could open right-click menu, create a folder and open it, but also the window comand line (I mean the one with the window name, and close button etc.) was gone ...
I tried to reinstall Ubuntu Nbr and run it with the normal style Gnome desktop, but the same thing happened again.

My mother really miss her computer - Help!

the word you are looking for is the window title bar, command line is something else.

Thank you, I tried some of the links, which unfortunately didn't work for me. I hadn't time to try them all, but I will when I get access to that computer again.

So this wan't happen if I just don't switch to the ordinary GNOME desktop?

If you just don't use the current desktop-switcher when your desktop is functioning correctly, then you won't have this problem. If you have already used desktop-switcher, then you'll need to follow the thread in the bug report to find the solution to the current problem.

The fixed version of desktop-switcher is in jaunty-proposed now, so hopefully it will move to jaunty-updates relatively soon.

Very good, then I'll just fix it, tell my mom not to touch that switcher and look forward to an update :)
