Les Lamb (kernelles) wrote : Unity 3D broken

This is the second time this has happened to me, and this time it is on an entirely different machine.

After a fresh install of 11.10 beta 2, followed by an update (Sept. 28, 2011), Unity crashed while I had CompizConfig Settings Manager open. I was not changing any settings when this happened, just clicking around on some of the categories in Compiz.

Restarting does not fix the problem. When Ubuntu loads, Unity launcher is missing completely, and so are the applet icons on the right side of the panel. All that appears are the wallpaper and panel, with the Nautilus menu (File, Edit, etc.) on the left side.

Unity 2D works fine, but Unity 3D will not load, regardless of how many times I restart.
