[SOLVED] Panels don't startup with Gnome
When I login to gnome, no panels appear (it has worked in the past).
All I have are the few default desktop icons and the ability to right click on the desktop which leads me to believe that I unchecked "gnome-panel" from the autostart option earlier.
I would go back into the autostart option but I don't know how to access it now that I don't have a panel. So does anyone know how I may access this or manually edit a file or something?
I found this, but it wasn't very helpful: http://www.captain.at/howto-autostart-p … -gnome.php
Any help very appreciated.
P.S. I thought of trying Alt+F2 (that's the command right?) and then entering gnome-panel, but the run dialog would not come up when I tried.
edit: Navigating to /usr/bin and then double clicking "gnome-panel" does nothing.

Re: [SOLVED] Panels don't startup with Gnome
Did you install gnome-extras?
Yes, it worked before. I did some tweaking of a few things then rebooted and now it doesn't work.

Re: [SOLVED] Panels don't startup with Gnome
Did you unselect any package while installing it or did a full install of gnome and gnome-extras? By default the panel should come.
Dude...lol, It was installed and working 100 percent for sure until I unselected it from the autostart list and now I need get it back. I just need to know how to put "gnome-panel" back into the autostart list.
EDIT: SOLVED
Ah, I figured it out and it wasn't anything to do with what I thought.
Earlier I uninstalled Avahi with gtkpacman and I guess gnome-panel absolutely needs that. So ok, problem solved.
