how to reset gnome panel?

rated 0 times [ 26] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 56350 / 2 Years ago, mon, february 14, 2022, 4:38:41

I think my gnome-panel is messed up because I alt+right click it and nothing pops up. I'm on 12.04, classic gnome desktop.

so I used locate and found gnome-panel in .gconf somewhere, how do I clear just gnome-panel's settings so that I can add things to my panel again?

edit:

matt: ~/.gconf $ find|grep -iw panel

./desktop/ibus/panel

./desktop/ibus/panel/%gconf.xml

./apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel

./apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/%gconf.xml

Config reset

This worked for me in GNOME Classic on 12.04 to reset the gnome-panel configuration:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/gnome-panel/

killall gnome-panel

Run the commands in a terminal or with Alt-F2.

Popup menu

Try
Win-Alt-rightclick
to get the popup menu.
