re: missing start bar
 

hello

my question is, i m using redhat 7.2 , recently when i re- booted
there was the regular trash can and the main home folder, but no start menu, i can 't seem to figure out what happened to it, i not too keen on re-installing, i have done that plenty of times before, i would appreciate anyone who has ever seen the menu go from the screen, let in on waht the problem might be.

cheers masa :study:

you haven't said what desktop you are using, presumably this is a kde or gnome question. please give as much useful information as possible in future.

I have that same problem, I'm using KDE desktop

Your taskbars/start menus are probably just hidden. If you look in the bottom left or bottom right hand corner of your screen you should see a little grey rectangle with a single black arrow on it. If you click that your system menu bar should re-appear.

Cheers
