Re-add the default top panel

  • 772

I accidentally deleted the default top panel in ubuntu 10.04.

How can I restore it without completely re-building it one panel object at a time?

gnome

    See this post. It has step by step instructions as well as a well recorded video. He provides a script that can restore your top and bottom panels. Just in case you do it again :)

  2. See this post. It will restore your panels back to their defaults. It doesn't discriminate in that any edits to your bottom panel will also be lost.

    Open a terminal session by: pressing Alt F2 > then type gnome-terminal > click on Run

    Then enter the following code:

    gconftool-2 –-recursive-unset /apps/panel # might be optional
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel

    Edit: Updated for gconftool-2
