It works fine until I upgrade to the lastest Oneiric today (I upgraded everyday). So there must be something wrong in today's updates.

The whole unity desktop is missing because of this issue. Cannot do anything but just watching an empty background. :-/

Seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/+bug/862917 (which is on amd64 instead)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This looks like a dupe of bug #862161

i was working fine, but i upgraded Nvidia x server, bad idea....

[Iain Hamilton (iain-foom)]

Had to build and install the binary driver using wget from the nvidia site in order to get a functioning desktop.

I am having this problem on an Intel laptop (intel X3100 gpu) running Ubuntu 11.10 amd64.

[Normand C (gemnoc)]

Having the same problem on 3.0.0-11.18 linux kernel, since I'm unable to boot on 3.0.0-12.19.

I upgrade from 11.04,just for gnome 3,yet it seems not ready.My network manager failed to detect my network,although I actually have a connection activitated.There is no sound,no hardware detected,only a dummy output（translated by google）in the “output” tab.

Oh ....................................Ubuntu 2D just work fine
