Missing taskbar statusbar on upgrade 11.04->11.10. Guest login works fine!

[pushkar_00]

So I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and now I dont have a statusbar or taskbar. Nothing on the top or the bottom.

This happens for my user login. When I login as guest everything works.

I tried unity --reset but that just hung. I dont know what to try and where to start from. I did search other threads, and tried a couple of other commands like reinstall unity etc. but to no luck.

Unity --reset halts at "initializing scale options"

All help is appreciated.


Here is the output --
unity --reset
unity-panel-service: no process found
