I have a standard updated xubuntu installed and somehow I have 'lost' my desktop.
I first noticed this whilst using the desktop and opening a terminal. I got an error saying Super-t did have an association (or something like that). I was also unable to open a terminal from the right click menu. I could not open a filer window either.
I rebooted, signed in and my email program opened on its own small background. I did not have the bar at the top and none of the mouse buttons worked on the desktop.
I have use an instance of the same xubuntu on usb to gain access to this forum and ask if it is possible to resurrect my desktop or must I reinstall the operating system afresh?
My home is on a separate partition.
