What version of Ubuntu and what desktop are you using? If you are using Unity, it should be sufficient to re-install the package ubuntu-desktop, since that would pull all the default programs.

i am using ubuntu 11.10
how can i reinstall ubuntu desktop ??

[jerrrys]

sudo apt-get install gtk

That command will do nothing. No such package.

Try this:

sudo apt-get install -f

That will attempt to fix broken packages. get any errors?

As well as Jerrys's suggestions, try:


sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
