Hi All,
I upgraded from a fairly stock 10.10 installation to 11.04. For whatever [brilliant] reason, Unity was installed on my wide screen laptop (Unity is the tablet-top and net-top window manager).
Using Synaptic, I uninstalled everything related to Unity. Unity, being burrowed in like a virus, was entangled with some stuff I use, such as Evolution (and empathy, ubuntu one, et al). After rebooting, my classic desktop was missing its launchers.
How do I repair this mess created by Unity? I'm very interested in getting my launchers back since I don't know all the command lines required. Neither `
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /` nor `gdm --reset` worked.
jeffrey@studio:~$ gdm --reset
** (gdm-binary:1957): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager: Connection ":1.43" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.DisplayManager" due to security policies in the configuration file
