This isn't a Gnome terminal problem... I had to report a bug to be able to access the internet, because both my panels are missing.

[Da CalebMan]

Ubuntu 9.04,

I may have deleted something in a Janitor's cleanup, because I have no access to either panels... they're both gone, and I don't know how to launch an application! I can open the terminal, via a shortcut key, but don't know many commands...

I noticed the grub-loader at boot up. Something I've never noticed before. So after I restarted, I launched recovery mode kernel, and did a repair, upgrade, and fschk.

there was no visible difference. could you please help me? This is urgent! I don't know how to use the computer without the panels...

You can start a panel by typing 'gnome-panel &' from the command line. You'll see some debugging text, but just hit enter a couple of times and then type 'exit'. If you close the terminal window by clicking the [x], your panel will close, so be sure to close it by typing 'exit'.
