How to Restore Defaults Gnome Desktop Environment

Restore the default GNOME desktop environment with these simple steps.

1. Enter runlevel 3 with: #init3
2. Log in as root.
3. Go to the home directory of the user whose desktop you want to restore.
4. Delete .gnome*, .gconf*, .metacity, .nautilus, /tmp/gconfd-{ชื่อ username}, and /tmp/orbit-{ชื่อ username}.

For example, to restore the default GNOME desktop environment for user A1:

1. Enter runlevel 3 with: #init3
2. Log in as root.
3. Go to the user’s home directory with this command. #cd /home/A1
4. Delete the files. rm -rf /home/A1/.gnome* rm -rf /home/A1/.gconf* rm -rf /home/A1/.metacity rm -rf /home/A1/.nautilus rm -rf /tmp/gconfd-A1 rm -rf /tmp/orbit-A1

Then reboot and log in as A1. The system rebuilds the desktop environment.
