First of all, open a terminal by pushing Alt-F2 and write "konsole", followed by Return.

Then, paste the following command.

Code: Select all

kquitapp plasma; rm  ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc; plasma

You will get a default panel back.

Thank you so much that brought it back can you also tell me if there are manuals that I can download that will teach me how to do this kind of fixes myself or a book that I should buy again thank you.

You can take a look at the Plasma FAQ, which I and others wrote. It covers most of Plasma, that is the desktop shell. Also, make sure to check the tutorial forum out. We have also screencasts there.
