Help, my task bar has disappeared along with the notification bar [on hold]
I know this isn't ubuntu, but my OS is also based on Debian and I've gotten no responses anywhere else so I'm reaching out here
I'm using Parrot OS with the MATE desktop environment.
I can access the terminal, right click (can do things like create folders, docs, and change desktop background through this) but that's it.
I can't launch any programs that aren't pinned to my desktop and because of this, my computer is basically unusable. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Trymate-panel --reset, see if that produces an error similar to askubuntu.com/questions/1050542/…

OK. In that case, usesetsid mate-panel &> /dev/nullin terminal. That will let you have mate-panel without the command being attached to terminal. This of course doesn't solve the root problem of the issue, however at the very least you can make a.desktopshortcut for it later and by placing it in~/.config/autostartmake it run upon login. That's pretty much it for now.
