Thanks!
eh, you mean running this command?

rm ~/.config/dconf/user

dunno, it deletes something? It seams the topic is about content from the taskbar.
I mean that if i boot, it sometimes is not there at all...

Yeah. I thought this sounded similar but perhaps it's another issue.

If the panel has disappeared, I think what you want to do is reboot. That's not what your screenshot shows, though...

If your panel disappears, press Alt+F2, then type 'gnome-panel' without the quotes, then press 'Run'.

If the taskbar is running but its simply missing, place the cursor where the taskbar should appear and press SUPER+ALT+LCLICK.

If that not work, press ALT+F2 and type

killall gnome-panel.real

then press ENTER.

Only if nothing of the above is working:
¡¡¡Important to return to the desktop from the next stop use CTRL+ALT+F7!!!
Press CTRLl+ALT+F1 and from there you should login and run:

DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel.real

All the system works fine. Except the panel doesn't appear.

You can logout with Alt + F1 (open the Trisquel Menu) or Ctrl + Alt + Delete (log out dialog) if you want and log in again.
Or open the panel with Alt + F2 and run gnome-panel

In my system the program associated with the panel is gnome-panel.real not gnome-panel. Can you confirm this? Thanks.

$ which gnome-panel
/usr/bin/gnome-panel
$ which gnome-panel.real 
/usr/bin/gnome-panel.real
$ diff /usr/bin/gnome-panel /usr/bin/gnome-panel.real
Binary files /usr/bin/gnome-panel and /usr/bin/gnome-panel.real differ
$ file /usr/bin/gnome-panel /usr/bin/gnome-panel.real

$ cat /usr/bin/gnome-panel

/usr/bin/gnome-panel.real --replace

(Also, thanks for the DISPLAY=:0.0 tip.)
