Centos 6.5+Gnome Desktop: active icons taskbar missing
Hi Guys,
had an issue with nautilus spawning 1000s of copies and then dying. Ended up removing and re-installing it. As a side effect it seems, the taskbar that normally shows icons for each running terminal, browser etc etc has disappeared. I've still got the main toolbar/taskbar that links to the menus and also has the fast launch icons, but I really miss the other one. Every time I iconize eg a terminal, it disappears (although I can see it via alt-tab). Anyone know how to put the bar back? |
i would reinstall the whole desktop
for gmome2 Code:
su - Code:
yum groupinstall "General Purpose Desktop" "Graphical Administration Tools" now if you also have xfce or kde4 installed it will be a bit easier to reinstall Gnome2 ---------------------- if only the lower "panel" is missing r-click the top panel and select " new panel" the new one "should be the bottom one |
Well, created a new panel ok, but its blank.
Does anyone know how to tell it to show icons for active terminals, FF etc and workspaces & trash icon ie the usual? I guess I can live with the 'wrong' panel as the 'upper' panel. I'd rather not re-install the whole desktop if I can avoid it. I've got an important thing coming up soon that I need this PC for; I don't want to risk a broken system. |
it is possible that gnome-panel is messed up from reinstalling Nautilus
you have already renamed a few of the "dot" files ? right like ~/.gnome2 ~/.config ~/.gconf and relogged in If " Applications / Places / System" is missing that is the "menu bar" there are TWO different ones under " add to panel" there is "menu bar" and Main menu" Menu Bar is the normal one |
Ok John, renaming those 3 files & logging out /in fixed it :)
