Panel - Reset to Default
How to Reset the Panel to Default
Open a Terminal and type the following
gconftool –recursive-unset /apps/panel (All panels will disappear) rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel pkill gnome-panel
Here's a script to fix all your panel problems = ) It will reset your panels to the ubuntu default and make sure everything is running properly.
BEFORE YOU RUN IT, however, open:
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
Now find:
[ifupdown] managed = false
And change the second line to:
managed = true
Download this script anywhere, double-click it, and choose "run."
#!/bin/bash
#Doing these first two lines is probably overkill, but we want to reset the panels to default no matter the cause.
gksudo apt-get purge gnome-panel indicator-applet-session
gksudo apt-get install gnome-panel indicator-applet-session
gksudo restart network-manager
gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
