Hi, I don't know if it is related to the same reason (that's why for the moment I don't confirm I have this bug, too), but I have a similar problem.
I ran a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10 (complete new one), updated, and in January I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 at early stage on my Personal Computer - to test and because generally even pre-betas work already fine. Restart, login, general use... all is OK, except I also don't have any desktop : only the background, no icon, none of my folders / files "saved" on desktop appear. There are well visible in Nautilus, and I well get Unity panel + for all other programs, the top bar with menus etc... All works perfectly. Just I have the desktop screen totally empty - and right click of mouse on it, or putting it on the top black bar, does nothing... I did not try to remove upstart at this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1526900 Title: No unity desktop.
