Unity not loading!
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 desktop edition x64, and every time I try to log in using default settings, Unity never loads properly, so I cannot use my computer. Right when I click "enter" to log in, the screen turns gray for a few seconds and my desktop background appears. Then, a bar on the top flashes into place, featuring the global menu and nothing else. The unity launcher never appears and the global menu does not feature the Ubuntu colors: Only an ugly shade of gray. No system tray icons appear. No power button, nothing else.
All this happened after I decided to install the proper ATI drivers for my graphics chip, then uninstalled the proprietary driver after a glitch caused the system to slow down.
I can still access nautilus and the terminal.
Is there any way I can fix this problem without completely re-installing my system? I do not want to reconfigure my settings.

Re: Unity not loading!
I'm having the same problem. I don't think it has anything to do with graphics drivers. hmmm....

I guess this might have something to do with a game that i installed that used opengl. The game was hammer of thyrion, a hexen 2 port.
