In my ubuntu 10.10 after configure an external CRT on S-Video in cloning desktop, I've lost my desktop icon and right clicking on it does not show menu and menu bar too.
I've tried to resolve with following command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
sudo chown -R $ USER: $ USER /Scrivania
with following sequence of commands I've gotten again main menu but nothing to do for get back my desktop:
mkdir ~/.oldpanel
mv ~/.gconf/apps/panel ~/.oldpanel
gconftool-2 --shutdown
pkill gnome-panel
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
Have you any idea to resolve my problem?
I've also posted this question on: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3328/ubuntu-desktop-lost
thanks in advance ciao h.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm nautilus gnome-panel
. Make also sure that you have selected Gnome as session during login.
