Lost Unity & Gnome Shell

[badactress]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit on Asus 1201N.

Everything was fine until I installed gnome-shell. I rebooted and at the login, the only desktop options I have are gnome classic and gnome classic (2d).

Re-installing video drivers and both unity and gnome shell hasn't worked. Removing gnome shell didn't help.

Running unity_support_test shows:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: ION/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 280.13

Not software rendered: yes
Not blacklisted: yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap: yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program: yes
GL fragment program: yes
GL vertex buffer object: yes
GL framebuffer object: yes
GL version is 1.4+: yes

Unity 3D supported: yes

I'm a bit baffled now! I've tried everything I can think of.

Can anybody suggest a next step? To be honest I'm growing to like Unity, so gnome-shell isn't essential. If I can just get Unity back I'd be happy.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Norman

Oh no! My problem is slipping onto page 3 of the forum with no replies :(

I guess a fresh install and no more trying anything silly like installing Gnome shell is the answer! :)

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gnome-shell
that should install unity, gnome-shell and gnome-session-fallback
