no task bar kde


I have read the solution fot the problem posed by someone who couldnt find a taskbar in gnome. I have KDE (4, I think). I can get to a text prompt, but then I dont know what to do. "Restart x" doesn't work. Meanwwhile, user can get to his e-mails but not to his files.

Access to files, just type 'dolphin' at the command prompt.


Restoring the configuration files to default :

cd /home/<user>/.kde4/share/
mv config/ config-back
( or just delete the directory config/ ).

Log out from KDE4, log in again, and a new default
set of configuration files will be created.

Make sure you have kicker installed. The "taskbar" in KDE is called kicker

I thought kicker was replaced by plasma in KDE4?

Right, kicked is long dead and not installed at all.

Do you have a wallpaer on your desktop. If yes, right click on it and click "add taskbar". Then you can add some widgets in it. If not, press alt+f2 and type plasma-desktop or just plasma if you have 4.2 or less. But if so, upgrade to 4.4.
