[SOLVED] How to get back lost mageia task bar?

Postby magfan » Aug 18th, '15, 09:47

Unfortunately, I installed the meta package "task-kde" yesterday and it removed my mageia task bar. How can I get it back? I can insert a new KDE task bar, but that one I don't like.

Right-click in your desktop -> Unlock widgets -> right-click again -> Add Panel -> Mageia Classic Panel.
And lock widgets again.

This does not work because I can select either an empty or a standard (KDE) task bar. The Mageia menu item had been removed when I installed "task-kde". Are there any other "Mageia repair functions"?

What is the output from:
Code: Select all
rpm -qa | grep kde4-config

@jkerr82508: Thank you for the hint! I was missing "Default-kde4-config".
