sudo apt-get install gnome-menus
or, right click taskbar and choose "add to panel", then "main menu"

Ok, I did some googling, looks like this should do the trick.

In a terminal (alt+f2 and then "gnome-terminal) copy paste this:


gconftool-2 --shutdown

press enter


rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

press enter (if it shouldn't work, put "sudo" in front of the code)


pkill gnome-panel

press enter

are you married to this installation? if not, just re-install. plus you'll know more about the installation process. life is learning . i just don't get why people become emotionally attached to their OS. have a good backup plan, and it's ez.

I remember my ISP giving me Windows re-installation as a solution to one of their numbers not working on dial-up. I spent half a day reinstalling and getting setup again, only to find the number still didn't work. The solution? The number wasn't in use anymore....change the number!! Was I P15SED???
