I was trying to install LibreOffice and in the process, the system crashed, when I rebooted there was no taskbar. I rebooted again to no change. I tried 'lxpanel restart' in the terminal and got the error 'Gtk-Warning cannot open display',trying 'pcmanfm' returns the same error, 'killall lxpanel' returns 'no process found'.
I also tried a command beginning with 'cp and then listing two directories', I'm not sure what it's intent was, but it didn't work anyway, I forget the error, if someone posts the command again I'll post the error. Everything I read online I either didn't understand or didn't work.
The computer is a Dell Latitude Labtop, Pentium M, 1.2 GB RAM. Sorry if I broke any of the forum rules, I'm a Linux noob, can anyone help me get the taskbar back?
Thanks for any help
