Taskbar missing in ubuntu 10.04

If you suddenly find that your ubuntu system have a different kind of problem. One day you start your PC and after loading desktop you discovered that there is no any taskbar or main menubar in your Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) machine. It might happen in your life anytime. If you want to scape from this huge problem then do the advice below:

  1. Press Alt+F2, in text fild type 'gnome-terminal' (without quots) and click on 'Run'.
  2. In terminal submit the commands below one by one. Select one line at a time and press 'Enter'.
gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel
You can recover Ubuntu machines 'Taskbar". Systems behave normally.

    Tried the commands and they worked perfectly... until I shut down. On subsequent startups, taskbar and toolbar were missing again. How do I get the system to "remember" to put the tool and task bars in the next time?

    @ Art, your installation has corrupted. It may solve with some various command but you should better reinstall Ubuntu again.
    Thanks

    Maya,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll start at step one by downloading a fresh ISO file and burning a CD. This was the second or third time I had tried installing 10.04, always with the same disappearing act by the task and tool bars.

    @Art
    Sometimes, the taskbar is missing when the Internet is connected while booting. Please try to switch off the net connection, boot it and then check.

    For the KDE-ers (Kubuntu) in the crowd, that's "konsole" instead of "gnome-terminal."
