Restore Panels In Ubuntu Back To Their Default Settings
Hi All, I was updating my ubuntu 10.04 with some security patches. Everything worked fine but in between I messed up with my ubuntu top panel, and some of the icons went missing. I tried adding them using “add to panel” option, but I did not find it usable. As I don’t remember the default sequence of icons. Even after adding all of them it was looking weird.
So I started looking out for options which can reset my both panels (top & bottom). This what I found, hopefully some of you may find it useful.
NOTE: It worked for me on ubuntu10.04, I personally have not tested it on any other distro. Though It should work as expected.
Following commands would do the trick.
gconftool-2 --shutdown
(Note: There should be no spaces between the two dashes before shutdown.)
EDIT – My friend has suggested a better method instead of shutting down gconfd. Instead use the following command (thanks !)
gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
(Remember: There should be no spaces between the two dashes before shutdown.)
Then enter the next command:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
And enter one more command:
pkill gnome-panel
That’s it! All the best. Continue reading
