1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
This new behavior occurred after an update. 2. the behavior you expected, and I expected to launch applications (i.e. update manager) by opening the unity icon thingy on top of the icon totem left side of screen. see attachment "Screenshot at 2011-11-14 12:21:40" 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). But when I open it it has changed from before and now looks like "Screenshot at 2011-11-14 12:21:57" Clicking on any of the upper left three icons causes the window to go blank except for the text box. If I type "update" in the text box, expecting the unity thingy to offer update manage as a choice icon, nothing happens, see "Screenshot at 2011-11-14 12:23:02" As a workaround, I launch synaptic using "gksu synaptic" in a terminal window. If there is a chance of fixing this,I'll hang in there and try to assist - otherwise I will scrap the installation, re-install (again) and see if works. It seems to me since this laptop is just used as skype phone and mobile mail with little customization that this problem might be more prevelent. ** Attachment added: "Start screen unity/ocelot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/888788/+attachment/2596883/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-11-14%2012%3A21%3A40.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888788 Title: Can no longer launch applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/888788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
