Re: [Question #77562]: How do I shute down and restart my ubuntus laptop!!

 

Question #77562 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77562

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Actually, the UNR has a top bar as this screenshot shows:

remix-3.jpg

KDE does not have a top bar, only a bottom bar:

Hence me asking

UNR does sound likely, You will find a little red power symbol in the
top right corner, you can use that to power of and on as well as restart
your system.

If you wish to revert back to factory defaults you can boot to recovery
root console and delete all the hidden folders (ones starting with a
'.') and then log back in, you will then get stock bog-basic settings
for ALL apps (you can see these by running:  ls -a and delete them with
rmdir <directory name to remove>)

Hope this is what you mean. By the way if you lost you panel you can get
it back by pressing F2 and typing:

gnome-panel

and hitting enter, if the system says it does not exist then you will
need to press ALT+F2 and type:

gnome-terminal

and pres enter, then type:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

then try rerunning the gnome-panel program as above.
