Hey tomrt - Welcome to LinuxQuestions.
Could you supply a bit more info:
- Which linux distribution are you using (Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, Slackware ... ) ?
- Which desktop environment are you using (Gnome, KDE, Mate, XFCE, LXDE ...) ?
- Under which conditions (how) did the taskbar "disappear" ?
Cheers :-) |

you learned your first lesson about gnu/linux:
it allows you to do all kinds of things. no obstacles. (the LEGOs are not glued together)
keep track of what you're doing so you'll know how to undo it.

Reason: added LEGO analogy

Does that mean it's not possible to undo it without knowing what I did? |

Hey tomrt - I'll assume that your desktop environment is Gnome/Unity then, if you are using Ubuntu. Not an Ubuntu user myself, but by "taskbar", are you referring to the Unity Launcher on the left that contains shortcuts (icons ) ? See this link:

Hope that helps ... |
