repopulate icon panel 4 logout,firefox,opera,thunderbird

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs.

Hello Chris:
  thanks for the alert; as I just posted in a forum with a similar question,
my Mirus PC is also down. It is hard to do work arounds or to figure which
way to go without info needed. Indeed, I signed up to be a Lucid bug tracker
but too limited time to do that work and then my PC and laptop both have
been down. wishing you the best. Kenneth

do you still have the panel that has applications listed ? if so click it then go to internet ,then forefox right click it ,then add to panel . do the same with opera and thunderbird . to get a shut down or log off button just right click any blank space click add to panel then scroll down the list tell you find shut down click it then add .

Greg, Thanks for responding. No, I do not have a panel with applications
listed nor the places or System; plus right clicking comes up with the
options: Create Folder, Create Folder, Create Document, Clean up Name, a
check mark in front of Keep Aligned followed by Change Desktop Background.
Am dumbfounded. Oh yes, I can open terminal as I had set up that option in
my prior work.

Before closing, Is there a fix I could use in terminal to "reconstitute" or
reconfigure a panel with desired icons as well as Applications Places and
System and a specific Shut down icon.

Again, I appreciate your guidance.

Kenneth

forgot may have to restart after finished !

Greg, terminal responded "Error while parsing options: Unknown option
-recursive-unset. Run 'gconftool - - help' to see a full list of available
command line options." I did that but don't follow as yet. Am lucky I have
my PC running. Many thanks. Will be at it. Ken

Greg. is there a risk of running .... delete current one:

   rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

Finally,reload panel:

   pkill gnome-panel without the initial remedy?

Greg I skipped the 1st step and did the second two then powered off and came
back to login and have the panel repopulated w/o any risk... Am using the
laptop at the moment. Many thanks to you! Will get to work, hopefully
tracking some bugs. Kenneth

yes ! then it restores them to default setting . you get back applications, places ,system, and the other default icons .

welcom to linux world ! your welcome . dont forget mark as solved .

With many thanks to Greg, I was able to repopulate the panel and use my laptop to answer his email directly. Am able to work, begin tracking bugs again and I gratefully ask that my question be described as solved. without inputing the gconftool step, I was able to overcome the repopulation of the panel by simply inputing delete current one: rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel and reloading the panel with: pkill gnome-panel

it worked.. Many thanks again!
