Tried to install Onedrive, messed up my entire desktop manager - help please
by BigVig from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HQNM)
I attempted to install Onedrive using the software package manager, thinking it would update to a newer version - onedrive - 2.4.13-1build1, and might even have a desktop GUI for it.
I was previously using a version from the terminal that I synched every now and then - onedrive v2.4.0-25-g7f267a5.
When I tried to synch using the terminal, it displayed the following:
$ onedrive --synchronize
Initializing the Synchronization Engine ...
Syncing changes from OneDrive ...
And then nothing happened. Several minutes.
Angry, I went back to Synaptic, and completely removed both libcmis-0.5-5v5 0.5.2-3build1 and onedrive 2.4.13-1build1. Why? Because both came up as installed when I searched for onedrive in Synaptic. Why? Because I'm stupid.
I rebooted, and, upon logging back in, my desktop looked like the attached.
Previously, my desktop resembled a typical MS windows screen with the status bar at the bottom, hitting the windows key brought up the applications menu, and everything at the top of the screen now was previously at the bottom.
I am using Xfce and xfwm4 - 4.18.0-1~bpo22.04.
Short of somehow reloading a system backup that I do not know if I have, could someone please offer some advice or help as to how I could get my desktop to back to my normal? Please, oh, please.
Thank you in advance.
