I lost all dash and launcher icons in ubuntu 11 10 as a result of trying to reduce their size (via ccsm I think)

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash ( from help) did not restore them

is there any way to avoid total re-installation of ubuntu 11 ?

Hello,

You've marked your thread as solved. Could you share your findings with the LQ community so that others in a similar situation can see if it works for them too? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

They may have been, like so many lost items, have been under the couch cushions.

Many people use the forum search to look for answers. Marking this a solved, as suggested above will save folks a lot of time going through many threads and maybe even under the couch cushions.

Hello,

These are not MY findings but were kindly given to me by Mssrs Lee Kelsey PHD and Satyaveer Arya:
(unfortunately it depends on the availability of a GOOD profile of a local user; I used my grandson's)


1 type ccsm in a terminal( Ctrl Alt T) window of the affected pc

2 In the ccsm screen go down to Preferences then Profile Import

3 Import the profile that shows icons


Advice: 1 Try to make a new dummy account before ; I tried to create 2 in the terminal that looked they were actually implemented ; None showed, though, in the graphical interfaces yet they must still be there as they prevented use of their names in new attempts!
2 get a grandson or gdaughter!

Good luck!

Hi,

Thank you for sharing! Have fun with Linux.

Kind regards,
