Lost panel

thegreenearth · 03-03-2002, 11:21 AM

For the first time, my linux crashed. When I rebooted, it'd fail checking the module dependencies and asks to do fsck manually. I did that and it booted properly. But now when I login to X, the panel doesn't load. How can I bring the panel back?
Please help.

Thanks

Is it GNOME or KDE? for KDE in the terminal type kicker, for gnome I am not sure, but to bring the programs menu press ctrl+esc.

Yes I'm using KDE. I tried running kicker from the terminal but it crashes whenever i try to do that. Even ctrl+alt+del doesn't work. So i've to turn the power off and turn it back on to reboot.

Instead of trying to do it through console. Hit ALT+F2 for a 'Run' dialog box and then try typing kicker.

Had this once myself but can't remember how I did it LOL.
Try typing "panel" on the command line
