Sorry, I dont have too much time to research this, so I am gonna ask.
Recently I had a HDD crash on a PCLOS box. The drive was replaced (data drive not OS drive), formatted and working for a week. I shut down the system, with no issues after a week, on Monday morning when I booted it up a strange thing happened. All of the menu/toolbars for everything are no longer there.
So, I cannot move windows, or use menus or anything. Furthermore, they do not appear in the taskbar on the bottom. So I cannot r. click and select any options for them.
I have browsed around and set a few display options to defaults, and reset window settings to no avail. Any ideas to try?
Oh, btw — I created a new user account (same problems as root as well) and the problem continues on a new user account.
