Hello Ubuntu Community;
I'm really stuck here with those missing panels.
I was only "playing" with changing some login screens & themes and out of the blue I lost both top & bottom panels.
The ONLY thing I get is the desktop screen with my wallpaper.
I don't get any interaction from that desktop.
I can assure you I have tried everything I have found here about similar issues about the missing panels.
Here's what I tried so far....
CTRL-ALT-BackSpace
CTRL-ALT-F1
login
sudo ./etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install / reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install / reinstall gnome-panel
sudo ./etc/init.d/gdm restart
Of course I have type the commands correctly I just wanted to give a quick explanation of what I have done.
The ODD part is that if I try to logon to the session using the "FailSafe GNOME" option the panels do come back but only for that current session.
As I mentioned I have read multiple threads here and no luck yet.
I'm new to UBUNTU and I'm really liking this OS.
EVERYTHING works on my laptop XPS M1210.
Please if you have any ideas let me and everyone here know how.
I would hate to have to re-install, I have spent a couple of weeks "tweaking" Ubuntu to put it at a state I really like using it as my main OS.
Hopefully someone out there has the answer.
Thanks y'all.
