To bring back the panels, Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel. If you need further help with this issue, please see: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels</a> Good luck,</blockquote></div> This is good advice, but in the future, also be sure to take note that questions like this (i.e. that don't involve development) should be directed at the xubuntu-users mailinglist: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> :) Best, -- Vincent
