I have no idea how this happened. I'm using hardy heron and for about a week now i have had no gnome. i can see the background and some desklets (luckily) and have managed to get by in konqueror but i really really need my gnome back.

I can't right-click on the desktop
I can't backup my evolution settings, it just crashes.
i can't mount a USB drive to copy stuff incase i need to reinstall everything.

Someone on another post suggested typing gnome-panel into terminal and i got this:


jeff@jeff-desktop:~$ gnome-panel

did you try to return on default human icon theme?

When dealing with DE (Desktop Environment) problems, if you're completely stuck, you can move the correct folder in your home directory to force generation of a new one.


mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2_old

Restart and you should have a fresh GNOME, as if you just installed it. You still have all your old configuration files and such in the .gnome2_old folder, so you can copy over things until you find what broke it.

I just ran into this after doing an update to Hardy (64 bit). No desktop icons, no ability to right-click, etc. Renaming the .gnome2 folder did the trick.

Strange thing is, none of the "important" directories had been updated, so the cause of the problem lies elsewhere.

Strange
