Just so I'm clear, the symptoms are that unity-panel service is not running (the contents of the black bar on the top of the screen) and that unity itself does not react to any input at all (not even when hovering the mouse over icons in the Launcher)?
if you could attach ~/.cache/upstart/unity7.log and ~/.cache/upstart /unity-panel-service.log that would be swell, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
