Hi,

I'm new to Zorin (and Linux) and I was fiddling around with the "start" button (the one with the Zorin logo in the bottom left) and it has disapeared...
I changed the look and then it asked me if I wanted to restart it, warning me it might go behind something. I pressed "no" and it has disappeared.
How do I get is back...? :(

Thanks alot,

Wolfman

Hi,

open a command line with Alt + F2 and type "killall gnome-panel" and this should immediately restart the panels. If for some unknown reason it doesn’t restart, you can just type "gnome-panel" into the run box. (Alt + F2 again)

Regards Wolfman :D

Thanks - will do!

Wolfman - I tried reloading and it didn't fix it. However I've got it back by right-clicking on the panel and selecting "Add to Panel".
It isn't the same as the first start menu though... :? (the menus are different and it has no search box) It'll do though - thanks for your help!
