Title:
whole system completely unusable after a reboot
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After a reboot, my almost newly installed Ubuntu 13.04 has become
completely unusable, in that after booting and logging in, there is no
launcher, and no system bar on the top of the screen.
There's no way I can run any program.
Since I have a .odt file on the desktop (it's the only thing I had on
my desktop), I have tried double clicking it, and it correctly opens
in OpenOffice Writer, but the windows have no borders or titlebar.
Something got badly broken without an apparent reason.
The last things I had done before the first boot that showed the issue
was to install virtualbox and run it once (just to create a vm that I
didn't run yet), and install the nvidia-current package via sudo apt-
get install nvidia-current. Then I rebooted and the issue appeared.
Since then, I have run sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-x.xx (don't
remember the version) and sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current, but
neither has fixed the issue.
I'm writing the report from another computer.
Then we get surprised that most people still use Windows.
