    Default panel, deleted some items by mistake, can't find them to put back

    Hi,

    I was playing around with the default panel that has the power icon (wrong lingo maybe) and the network/sound icons, etc.

    I deleted some items including the power icon and now for the life of me can't find it in the panel applets list in lubuntu.

    Is there a way to restore the default panel with the settings as when I first installed lubuntu.

    I also played with some spacings and other settings so would rather just get it back to normal/restore it vs add all the items back on and then play with the spacings again.

    Thanks

    Rod

    I, personally don't know a way to restore the defaults, but I believe the applets originally loaded are as follows:

    Top Panel (may not be the exact order -- I've changed mine):
    Menu Bar
    2 Application launchers (Help & Evolution)
    Indicator Applet
    Clock
    Notification Area

    Bottom:
    Show Desktop
    Separator
    Window List
    Trash

    What I find most odd is regardless of panel top or bottom or both, I have no option to get that little power button icon back, the one that lets you log out, or shut down, etc etc.

    I am not sure if this is an lubuntu issue of just an issue I have?

    knowing it was lubuntu would have helped I'm not sure if LXDE has the same applets, but the one for Gnome is called "Shut Down..."

    I forgot to list it apparently

    To re-install applets such as the Shut down applet do the following:
    Right click the panel and select from the drop down list "Add to Panel"
    scroll down the list until you come to the "Shut Down" applet, then left click on the applet,then left click "Add".
    Hopefully this will assist you.

    most probably you have removed the notification area.
    as deeminter said, right click on the panel then click add to panel and choose notification area

    Here is what is listed, I don't see any of which has been mentioned above

    CPUFreq LED
    Battery Monitor
    CPU Usage Monitor
    Keyboard Layout Switcher
    Desktop Number/ Workspace Name
    Temperature Monitor
    Network Status Monitory
    Volume Control
    Spacer
    Menu
    System Tray
    Destkop Page
    Task Bar
    Directory menu
    Minimize All Windows
    Digital Clock
    Application Launch Bar
    Seperator

    That is it, any other advise before I just create a new one and leave that one important icon off?

    Ah, yes.... I got messed up with the panel as well.... The Lubuntu logo-ed start button was removed by accident, as well as the power button.

    I don't know how to restore the default panel, but since I just installed Lubuntu, I created a new user account and the buttons were all there again. (Preferences-->Users and Groups)

    I created the new user account, logged in with it, changed it to an Administrator account, and deleted the account with the messed up panel. You can keep the files from the old account.

    It's not exactly what you may want to do, but it is a way. I just wanted to share what I did.

    Bring back the Shutdown button on the right corner of lxpanel.

    Code:
    sudo cp /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels
    Change owner:group to the local account from root.
    Code:
    sudo chown owner:group  ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel
    Code:
    lxpanelctl restart

    All you have to do is add the indicator applet in the add to panel window
