Start gnome-terminal (has to be gnome-terminal - other term apps don't appear to produce this bug). 2. run sudo su and enter your password 3. run gedit or nautilus but definitely gedit is confirmed by 1 other person 4. Flick your mouse up to Activities 5. Gnome-Shell is dead ctrl+alt+f1 - login and run stop gdm or stop lightdm depending on your Ubuntu build start lightdm or gdm - attempt to login to gnome - no desktop will appear and if you switch back to the console you can see gnome-shell running like crazy. I've tried killing X, and confirmed all gnome service aren't running then tried start gdm or start lightdm and still nothing works. Have to restart PC to recover.
