Public bug reported: I have HP Pavilion dv6500 with NVidia 7150M. After installing Beta2 and updates the desktop does not work anymore. Unity breaks - no bar, no panel, nothing. If I select Unity 2D the system still works.
I propably already reported this as unity error (Bug #985768) but I now found out that this is related to the NVidia driver installation. NVidia driver is nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_amd64.
