Suzanne_Pittman_8160 : 10/04/08 09:34 AM : Incident created -   On my menu bar, right next to the mozilla firefox icon, there was an icon with a a computer and a red circle. When I pressed on this icon, I had to log in as root and I could then access the software manager, the system configuration, the security, system updates, etc... When I went to download another file, I think I accidentally deleted something involving "drake". The computer icon by the menu bar disappearred, in addition to the system update icon in the menu bar (red exclamation mark). I want to know how to get these things back!
