I upgraded to 10.4 on Friday and everything seemed to go flawlessly.

I had installed Netbook launcher about a month ago and decided I didn't like it, so yesterday I uninstantiated it.

Now when I boot up using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx I get this error

The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:gnome_gohome"
do you want to delete your configuration

I get the same result if I click "no" or "yes" the boot finishes and every thing seems to work....except the drop-down menus are missing on the panel on the right. So every thing on the left is there I.E. im connected to my router but i cant get to Fire Fox.... right or left clicking on the panel wont let me at to the panel..... so how do i get my panel back?

Oh and the bottom panel is gone too...

not really sure this is an upgrade problem but the timing was suspicious...

use alt+f2 to launch apps in the interim. use it to launch a terminal


gnome-terminal

and try this:


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

I used the same process to reinstall Netbook-launcher. So I'm up and running on Ubuntu again.

I'll repost this in a different forum to see if I can get back to a more traditional desktop


thanks ..
