Messed up my desktop - help
I have a Ubuntu 11.04 o an Acer netbook
Earlier today I loaded the compiz uility. Since I had issues with the desktop on the netbook I decided to remove it. Since then I have got a blank desktop (as any user) when I login. I am OK when I login to via Classic, but not in he standard (Unity??) desktop. I tried removing the .gnome2 directory, plus a few others dot directories in my home directory(as per instructions on a forum post I found after searching with google), but this has not fixed it. Any help appreciated. |
Just to add to this.
Also tried 'Package repair' via the grub 'recovery mode' boot option - to no avail |
Have you rebooted it since doing this? Sometimes that can clear things. Otherwise, I'm not sure what to suggest.

Have you tried creating a new user and seeing if Unity works for the new user?

Got to the point now where I've just stopped messing about and have started rebuilding 11.04. The build was fairly new - so always quicker 2nd time round. ;-) Cheers anyway. |
Do you recall how many "dot directories" you deleted and their names?
EDIT- Didn't see your last post before posting. Sometimes re-installing is the easiest way. |
