Desktop menus and control Panel problems
I have done something to loose access to my Contol panels and menus I have logged into another user and all seem to work fine. I have logged in under GNOME safemode and it just scrolls stuff on the screen and brings back to main login screen. I have started to reboot to recovery mode only to find I have no clue as to what to do here as I am Command handycapped..

Log in as the other (working) user then use the command line to delete the .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private directories found in the problem users home directory. You will need sudo for this.
Code:
sudo cd /home/<problem_user>/; rm -Rf .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private |
not in sudoers file

I tried this and got the messsage "allycat is not in the sudoers file. This incident will b e reported." I logged in as problem user nothing changed I did notice that none of the desktop I-cons loaded. (which I think it did this last night.) while replying to this post a message came up with option box "A program is still running" Panel not responding Waiting for program to finish interrupting program may cause you to lose work. lock screen Cancel Shutdown Anyway |
Well the recovery mode should be under the root user so the rm -Rf command will work there too. You should not need sudo then. Same command line, just no sudo at the beginning. Even if you are logged in to the console as the problem user, you can still use that command line. Also killall -9 gnome-panel should restart the gnome-panel if that is the cause of the problem.
