Hi to all, I am using Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Pentium 4 and everything works fine. Except that the main menu bar is empty on the left side, the custom icons that I installed later are still there. I cant access any programs this way. Panel commands dont help either. Is there a command to reinstall or reset the standard Gnome menu bar through the terminal ? I would really appreciate your help, since otherwise I have to make a complete reinstall. Thanks to everybody and have a nice weekend Marc
Hi falco, there are no menus in the menu bar anymore. I have no idea where to get a log. I can call a terminal, but I dont know the command to look for a log. My menu bar consists of a date, the sound volume and the icon to restart. There is nothing else. I had the same problem a few weeks ago and there was a command to reset this. Thank you and have a nice evening Marc
The logs are in the /var/log directory: Code: cd /var/log To display the latest 100 lines of a log file (e.g. syslog), you'd run Code: tail -n100 syslog To view the log in realtime, you'd use Code: tail -f syslog (press CTRL+C to leave).
Thank you falco I found a logfile where you say, but there are no menu-related error messages there. I think, the best is to reformat the harddisk and start from scratch. Thank you for your help. Best regards Marc
