OpenGL Dissappeared - No Launcher, Global Menu Bar

[mikeashelby]

Hi,

I'm really sorry if this has already been asked, I have searched, but to no avail.

Basically, during some updates recently my Ubuntu install has gone awry. The launcher bar doesn't appear, I'm getting no window decoration or global menu bar.

As best I can work out, OpenGL has stopped working (probably because something's gone funny with my restricted drivers - Nvidia GT 610 graphics card, was working fine before, wobbly windows the lot!). However, for the life of me I can't work out how to fix it.

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10. I've reinstalled the nvidia drivers, but that hasn't helped.

Does anyone have any ideas of anything I could try?

Thanks in advance - even if you just point me to where I need to be looking (again, I have googled this over the last 2 days and come up with nothing yet!)

Cheers,

Mike

With terminal access you can try the following . Try Unity reset first .

Reset Compiz

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
Reset Unity
setsid unity
