Help!! Mate menu panel suddenly missing

[kjomara]

I had an app. hang today and re-booted out of it. When it finished booting I have no "task bar" or otherwise known as the menu panel. I had it set to auto hide and now it is permanently hidden. I can't open a terminal window either because I don't have a menu button, and I never copied a terminal shortcut to the desktop. Can anyone help me out of this? I'm running 64 bit Mint 14 with Mate desktop.

mate-terminal

now you'll have terminal now type in

Code: Select all

mate-panel --reset


hopefully that will help.

Thanks. Had the same problem. I put the panel on the left and then it wouldn't show. I think compiz is not playing well. Thanks again.
