Hello,

Unfortunatly I seem to have accidentally deleted the top panel from Ubuntu 10.04. How can I restore the default panels? I am panicking right now


UPDATE: I have managed to manually put everything back in it's place, except the battery indicator. What would this be called?

The panel settings are stored in the .gconf/apps/panel folder in your home directory. Of course beginning with the "." it's a hidden file, you will have to enable viewing hidden folders to work with it in nautilus.

As far as restoring the default without a backup, you might could try booting a live cd and copying the folder above mentioned directory over to your machine. That should set your desktop back to the default.

Moving forward, I would suggest making a backup of that folder or adding it to your existing backup strategy... (you do have a backup in place don't you?)

# Update
The applet you are looking for is called the indicator applet

From what I see, the indicator applet is the volume and Evolution Mail indicators. Strangely no battery.

I just right clicked about on my Battery Icon on Gnome Top Taskbar and got

http://launchpad.net/indicator-applet

Go to:

System/Preferences/Power Management

Navigate to the general tab
Choose whatever level of notification you want to see under "Notification Area"
