Please try with Unity. I have no idea how much you have removed nor how to restore them. You can try to install ubuntu-desktop, but not sure if it will reinstall unity.
You opened bug for gnome-panel... If it will crash in Unity than it is not bug in gnome-panel, but in other pacakge. And please open new bug report for other problems. I don't know anyting about gnome-contacts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407015 Title: Both nemo and nautilus chrash when opening a nfs share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1407015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
