I have swapped from Linux Mint and retained my home partition and username. Unfortunately, SparkyLinux Mate is picking up the profile settings for my old Mint panel and desktop. I created another user which gets all the great Sparky features. I could bring in my data and profile for email and other aps. I then need to rename the new user etc.
I would prefer to just reset the full gui in my own profile so I get the panel etc. At present I cannot even access the aps because there is no menu.
How do I reset panel, menu and desktop for my preferred account?
To reset MATE settings to the sparky's default, do:
1. Move two folders:
~HOME/.config/dconf to dconf.bak
~HOME/.config/mate to mate.bak
2. Reboot.
After rebooting, the system should reload the settings the same way as on first boot after hard drive installation.
Hope it will help.
