Hey y'all,
I just updated to 12.10 and when I login I see my desktop icons but no unity dock or top bar. There are no window borders either. It works fine when I use gnome but I'd really like to use unity.
thanks

What are your hardware specs, graphics card and graphics driver? Am I right in assuming that Unity worked before the upgrade?
have the same issue. i can force unity to get going by control-alt-t to open a terminal and running unity&
although sometimes it takes a godawful time to load, and other times I end up having to control-alt-f1 and start it from the console.
i havent explored what else might be causing it yet, but id note that my installation of 12.04 is perhaps 6 weeks old, and I have not modified it significantly. Im on an x230 with intels i915 graphics.
I have the same problem with Dell C640 pentium-4 Radon card. It was working fine in 12.04 . When I tried from terminal. It is saying hardware not supported.
I have the same problem after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.1. No menu bar no launcher.
I also have the same problem, and still don't know why
