Hi. I have an Asus 1001p (pineview) netbook. I was previously using the Unity interface in 10.10 but, as of the update to 11.04, Unity never loads. I can log into the classic desktop just fine, so X/GDM are working fine. I assume that since I was running Unity before that the pineview graphics are capable of running Unity in 11.04.

The very first boot after the upgrade, there was significant disk activity and then it sat there with a black X screen and a working mouse cursor. I let it sit there for about 20 minutes and then I rebooted. On the second boot, I experienced the same thing, except my background was GDM's background.

Ctrl+Alt+F1,2,3,4 wouldn't switch between VCs, but that's not something I ever really do on a netbook so I can't say if it was working before.

Are there any logs or anything else I can look at to debug this issue? I didn't monkey around with compiz or anything like that. In fact, it was pretty much a straight-up 10.10 image before I upgraded.
