Help - panel has gone!

[aj5string]

Hi...

Basically, i turned my computer on today, and my panel has disappeared!

Any ideas how i can get it back?

Cheers!

[Bigtime_Scrub]

If you are using Gnome and you are missing only one of the panels, you can right click on the 1 panel you do have and select add panel.

[sayakb]

Press Alt+F2 and type in

gnome-panel

[kaola_linux]

I have the same prob as his, unfortunately using the "gnome-panel" command on the terminal gives me an error...I've used

"sudo gnome-panel" it appeared, but after sometime or just simply clicking the icons it will dissappear...

IMO, it was my Glib coz i've compiled a source maybe it was faulty..can someone help here???

[sayakb]

Can you post the error message? Also goto System->Preferences->Sessions, click the Current Session tab and check that the Style for gnome-panel is set to Restart. Then at a terminal, do:

killall gnome-panel
And see if it comes up..

I just installed Glib, just compiled it though because I want to install XMMS but to no luck hence I had a faulty machine now...

Please help me with this because if I can't handle this I might as well reinstall Ubuntu but I can't afford to lose my apps and installed updates it's too time consuming to do things whole over again...I'm typing this message using Firefox runned from Terminal...NO GNOME-PANEL AVAILABLE!!!

Thanks in advance...

this was my previous post..hope you can spot the error
thanks

I can't clikck on another panel, as i only use one on my desktop.

Pressing Alt-F2 isn't bringing the terminal up either! Any other ways of getting it to appear?

After trying your code, still my panels didn't appeared.
When I type gnome-panel on terminal this is the error.
Typing sudo shows it, but not for long a moment late the gnome panel will dissappear...I guess I have to reinstall then?Tsk tsk

[aj5string]

Anyone any other ideas? Its getting really fristrating not having any panels!!! Luckily I have AWN with my most used programmes...

Have you got your /home folder on a seperate partition?

If you have, re-installing wil not mess up your settings and documents.

I'm no expert but it looks completely borked and it says "memory corruption" right at the beginning of that output.
