On Ubuntu 13.04 after installing catalyst 13.3 beta 3 unity boots to the desktop but only shows the wallpaper. It is possible to right click and the menu works but nothing else is displayed.

I followed these instructions http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide#Installing_Cataly st_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29_BETA.2FE XPERIMENTAL

Experimenting with beta versions of ANYTHING is a really bad idea -- unless you really know what you're doing -- which includes making an image backup in advance, so you can restore the prior state if stuff goes badly.

Did you make sure to REMOVE the prior drivers -- as the instructions mention several times?

Also, there are a number of diagnostic steps listed in the instructions -- did you try those before posting this?

[SOLVED] I had to downgrade the intel drivers to the previous version
