Re: [LUG] Ubuntu 0-and x buttons gone missing

 

Quoting Terry Hill <telbonic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Just noticed all windows now have a little button and the square/minus and
cross buttons have disappeared- cant find out how to get them back - any
ideas?

The same has happened to my ubuntu - I'm running Karmic (9.10).  My
menu's were reconfigured too, and I've lost the Ubuntu add/remove app
system (forgotten the name) normally at the bottom of the list.

Sounds like your window manager crashed.

press ALT+F2 and type "metacity --resplace &" if you were running Stock GNOME or "compiz --replace &" if you had 3d graphics enabled.

The "&" is important.

Kind regards,

Matt
