How to restore the default Lubuntu panel in LXDE based Lubuntu releases?

Question

I accidentally deleted the whole panel.

How can I restore the default panel?

UPDATE: I found a minimized panel on top.

But I have 2 more questions.

1. Now I have a small panel that has a network connection. However, I cannot find panel settings when I right click. I'd like to set it to be minimized while not being used.

2. I cannot find power (leading to suspend, hibernate, etc ...) in panel settings.

Solution 1

Found this at ubuntuforums.org, hope it helps:

cp /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels
lxpanelctl restart

source

Solution 2

The other answers did not work for me (although to be frank I didn't log out, just lxpanelctl restarted) with Lubuntu 15.04 . This did work for me:

$ rm -r ~/.config/lxpanel
$ lxpanelctl restart

it may be a bit overkill though.

Solution 3

In terminal, execute the following.

cp /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels

then logout and login.
