Bug Description
everything was working fine until the recent kernel update.
switching to tty1 and running unity --replace restores some (but not all) desktop functionality:
- desktop loads (no longer garbled)
- unity sidebar now loads
- top menu bar doesn't load
- many window decorations, font etc. not working so windows look awful
- shortcut keys do not work
- start up programs don't load
some of the output from unity --replace is similar to this bug: https:/
