Same issue here -- have had this happen to me 4 times in the last 6 months. First two times I thought it was me and reformatted computer - and reinstalled from scratch. (Thank God I run backups!)
Last month I had my son (Unix guy in the next state over) help me via phone -- and were able to restore from simply running the commands to update, then install, reinstall desktop -- then install unity -- worked fine I kept the steps just in case...
then it happened again - I logged into my pc and was working fine on Tuesday -- didn't log in on Wednesday till the evening - at which time the computer had gone to sleep - when I tried to login my unity and menu's were gone... I checked all the recommended steps via the ask.ubuntu site to no avail... I'm still not getting my unity or menu
I am able to bring up a gui with my directory structure, so I went into usr/share/applications and found that I could launch applications from that - therefore I'm able to access a browser and get to this site.
Wondering when this issue is gonna get fixed -- and why does this site say it' only affects 9 users??? That's crap - I cannot be only 1 of 9.... other people must not be logging in the issue...
