13.04. I rebooted this morning & after logging into the GUI desktop, all I get is the background.
There are no icons, there is no launch strip on the left, there is no status bar on top. Right-clicking on the desktop gives the option of creating a blank document -- no other type of new document is available on the list.
Rebooting again has no effect.
I can open a terminal & navigate there just fine. "top" doesn't show any unusual processes, nor anything using unusual amounts of resources.
What I was doing last...
I'd added a repository for a software-defined radio application. (gqrx) Noticed the update notification icon on the top status bar had lit up -- and was saying some kind of error had happened looking for updates. Removed the repository, didn't help. Rebooted.
I did find a .config/compiz-1/compizconfig/unity.ini file that didn't exist at the time of my last backup about a week ago. Renaming it to .in_ doesn't help.
sudo apt-get update returns no errors or updates.
No apparent errors in Xorg.0.log.
