Bug Description
Hello,
I had a perfect installation of Ubuntu 11.10 but after I installed the application "compiz" now Ubuntu has lost the unity launch bar down the left side of the screen, no dash, no log-in/out menu at the top right corner of the screen. No! access to system settings such as the software centre,etc. (note: I made no major changes with compiz after it installed but this program seems to have rogered the setup some way and I have no idea how or why this should have happened).
**Additional information: On startup I have x2 login options a) Ubuntu which should include unity,dash etc i.e. standard user login and b) Ubuntu unity 2D. The unity 2D is working OK but a) is missing unity?
**Machine is a DELL Studio PC 64bit OS installed, CPU = intel core 2 duo, 8GB DDR2 RAM, HDD=750 with 8GB swap partition.
Question is it possible to repair this problem & if so how ??
**actionparsnip, Hello I successfully managed to install Opera without any difficulties this time, still dont know why I had such problem previously.
Any help much appreciated, Ivan
The software which has damaged my Ubuntu 11.10 installation is the "Compiz Config Settings manager" which was installed via the software center in Ubuntu. I have since looked again at this software and found comments like mine from several other annoyed users.
Please Note for OTHER USERS =====> DONT, REPEAT DO NOT INSTALL COMPIZ CONFIG SETTINGS MANAGER!!! WARNING this software will screw up Ubuntu 11.10 badly.
FOOT NOTE:- I have also tried to run the commands Unity reset & Icons reset and neither make any difference compiz config settings manager wrecked the desktop setup.
CONCLUSION:- will have to wipe the whole rig and re-install the whole thing now its messed up. Such a pain in the A** and so annoying as the whole machine was so nicely set up prior to this software.
