I tried your suggestion. The computer icon was restored but the shutdown button didn't shut down the computer.

After some experimenting, I decided to reload 10.04 for the time being.

Thanks,

I am using the Unity Desktop. Does the Gnome Tweek tool work with Unity?

I upgraded to 11.10 and all works well except my top panel doesn't have a shutdown icon. If I change to Guest user the Shutdown icon shows up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dale

I don't know how you figured this out, but as with Donsy, your suggestion worked great.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think it needed a disk in the drive. Seems to work now.

The CD ROM Drives box is checked in the Users and Groups administration window. Below is the content of fstab as suggested.

Thanks,
Dale

I think if I added the Notification Area it might have worked.

Thanks, unfortunately the computer seems pretty inert. I could try the safe mode and see what happens. Dm6257

I experienced similiar problems with a Thinkpad Z61 after the last Hardy upgrade. I reloaded 7.10 from an Acronis image and my wireless problems disappeared.

I used Acronis to restore a 7.10 backup from before the Hardy upgrade and my wireless connection works fine. I have seen others on this forum describing the same problem so I am assuming it is not...
