Unity not loading after nvidia drivers installation

[serdotlinecho]

To restart unity shell or compiz on 12.10 and 13.04:

Restart unity without restart compiz, in terminal:

setsid unity

Restart unity by restarting compiz:

setsid compiz --replace

I've tried that already, and nothing.

I have a bunch of errors about OpenGL in my xsession-errors:

compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded.

I've searched about this error and tried some things to fix this opengl error, but none worked.
RR was working great until I followed this guide from steam:

I've tried everything and can't fix unity :\
Is my only option format and reinstall RR?

I got unity working again , heres how . I installed the nvidia 304 updates and the nvidia settings updates ( I don't know if this had anything to do with it ) , I reinstalled unity rebooted and loged into unity ( ubunty default ) still no top bar and launcher , then I brought up ccsm and enabled the unity plugin , it said it conflicted with 2 gnome settings and asked to disable them I clicked disable them and unity came up working . I logged out of unity and into gnome-shell and it also seems to be normal . I logged out of gnome-shell and back into unity and it is still working so it may be as simple as reinstalling unity and letting it disable the 2 things it asks to in ccsm .

yeah, compiz becomes a pain: there is no schemas inside dconf

I'm getting the same thing with the 304.84 nvidia driver [...] Gnome-shell works normally [...]

Unity has not worked correctly, since I started running Gnome 3 Staging.

However, if I load Unity from inside a Gnome-Shell session, it works fine.

Might want to try that...

• Login to GS
• Open a terminal, type:
  

  unity --replace &

• Press [Enter]
• Close terminal, when dialog lags out (decorator error)

Everything, including Compiz, works perfectly for me.

Oh, okay! Sorry!

I should have kept reading.

Glad you got it sorted...

I can confirm that the above worked for me also

After trying many things with no success I finally solved my problem

1. Format
2. Install RR again

It worked for me too! I had this same issue with the final version of RR released yesterday.
Thanks a lot, Ronacc
