ubuntu 11.04 launch bar and top bar gone

[ser23]

Hi guys I have been using ubuntu since 10.04 version and configure with compiz to activate the corners, cube, etc. No problems with that. When I upgraded to 11.04 these things were not working but honestly I did not care that much and was just playing with compiz, so I was playing with an option in compiz about the size of the icons in the new 11.04 launch bar, just when I clicked it my top bar and launch bar are gone and not coming back after rebooting many times. Would you tell me please how can I restore this two 11.04 bars or panel.

BTW I already uninstalled compiz via terminal and the same problem is happening, maybe important for you to know (alt+f2 or other shortcuts not working except for ctr+alt+t) Thank you

I had a similar bug when I was playing with the Compiz settings but you removed Compiz, wasnt a good idea as it is needed to have a working Unity.
Reinstall Compiz and try it again.

Solved. I just run in terminal unity --reset.

BTW unity was not installed.

Strange if it wasnt installed.
Yes, with this command, I forgot it, you can restore Unity.

I have the same problem, I'm not exactly sure how you solved it. Could you please explain it?

Type in the terminal:

unity --reset

to restore the Unity Desktop.

Type in the terminal:

unity --reset

to restore the Unity Desktop.

I did this and get a long list of stuff in terminal (says initializing a bunch of stuff), but then nothing happens.
