Not sure if there is easy way to repair your sistem. I would suggest to try clean install.
You have log file full of warnings about missing programs. You have put many launchers on panel, bet programs does not exist for them anymore. This is what I see from log messages. You say that clicking on panel makes it crash/disappear. It could crash because panel fails to find program you try to launch. If so this is definetly bug as panel should not crash in such cases (I have no time to verify this). If you run programs from terminal and then close terminal it won't close only terminal, it will close all other programs you launched from terminal. Add ' &' at the end of programs names when you launch applications - 'gnome-panel --replace &' . And if you want close terminal don't do it by clicking close button but type 'exit' command in terminal. You can see your username in terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380095 Title: Gnome Fallback[s] don't work in 14.04. Work once ONLY if reinstalled Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: While the computer is saying its a problem with gnome-panel, I keep re-installing gnome-session-fallback. It will work [in either flavor of fallback (no idea why there are now two!) ONE TIME - but the next time I get a screen with NO panels and NO keyboard shortcuts are recognized (so I can't even get a terminal). All I can do is hard shut-down of computer; restart into gnome or unity or some others (which I do NOT like to use!). I have done this MANY times now. It never stays 'done'. Am going back to my copy ov 12.04 until someone can tell me why or how to make one of the fallbacks (hopefully both) work every time I sign in to 14.04. Thank you. Anyone else having similar problems? The only other thing I can think of is that I upgraded from 12.04 in which fallback operated just fine and was stable.
