Was: HP 64 bit HP G62 laptop w/ radeon 4200 running Oneiric with unity
Is: Same machine running Maverick with Gnome 2.x
didn't change my system, didn't add any effects, did some work in NetBeans, checked my mail, closed the lid and went to bed. Woke up yesterday morning, NO UNITY. NOTHING. Top bar useless. All my data and apps were still there, popped into terminal was able to do whatever I needed, but still. This. Ain't. Quite. Right. Logged out, logged in, same same. Restarted the machine, no joy.
Accused the 20-somethings of messing with my laptop. Nope. Honestly, none of them motivated or smart enough to really do any damage on a Linux system.
No unity. Rassfrrassn!!! Shyte. I miss it. I had actually not only gotten used to it, but had started to begrudgingly like it.
Until it disappeared. --reset did no good, nor ccsm advice found elsewhere on the forums and the net. No freakin unity. Dumped the system, re-installed Maverick. Does anyone have a concrete fix or have any idea why this is happening? It appears to be happening to a lot of people, but not quite the way it happened to me, hence the new post.
I Spent the day working on Maverick, thinking about changing distros, but hate to give up on Ubuntu. It would feel like going out and getting some strange.
But I can't stick with a system that fails without me causing the failure. :D
Anybody have any ideas besides --reset or "make sure this and that are checked in ccsm"?
regards, Richard
