FYI, this issue isn't fully gone--I got into this situation today. Logging in with the "Ubuntu" session produced the nautilus-menbar-with- no-launcher issue seen in the screenshots. Logging in with the "Ubuntu 2D" session worked. In ccsm, the Unity plugin was not enabled so I turned it on, and then I also ran unity --reset. After that the problem went away.
I have no idea how I got into the situation in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850914 Title: Unity does not start and the menu for nautilus loads with nothing else Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: As seen in the screenshots, the nautilus menubar appears on login with no window, and unity does not start.
