"Repair"??
You mean upgrade your distro/GNOME?

Hucker you are a leecher.
You take take take without ever giving anything.

It's getting boring reading all your requests for help, and you would benefit more by doing a little reading around the subject. i.e. searching other forums, using google etc.

You also seem to take a tone with anyone who questions anything you have/haven't written about.

How?GNOME is opensource,go learn C/C++ and the fix the code yourself.Oh and by the way,you could try to improve your grammar, "i mean to fixed to the problem" isn't even correct english.

I completely agree with you,Rendy.

You should understand Linux first. A GNU\Linux system is composed of a lot of layers, there's no such thing as "repairing Linux" (especially the kernel). There is no "Repair Linux" wizard somewhere as does IE.

Your question is not even right. Obviously the problem is with GNOME not Linux nor KDE. Search on the GNOME panels, it must be a simple option you need to enable.

FYI, Linux is not an operating system, it's a kernel unlike Windows which is an os. Your distro is an os.

Check out these sites before trying anything else. Read the articles and the posts in the forums (no need to be involved), if you're serious enough you will learn a lot. Good luck.

http://www.newtolinux.org.uk/

P.S. - And one grammar error has been pointed out to you, the others should be quit obvious, simply compare your posts against any other.

Comma should be removed resulting in either two different sentences. You could also place a ; in place of the , .
