Ubuntu 12.04 install resulted in no launcher on screen

WRKTUNDRA · 08-29-2012, 11:40 PM

The launcher is non existent. The keyboard only works sporadically, cannot scroll through any drop down menus, no minimize or close buttons, the only thing that I did during installation was to choose keeping original CUPS, video driver has been auto identified as for a laptop but it is a desktop Samsung monitor with and Invidia driver. I need help big time.

Hi,

Don't worry, I manage to get this type of thing a lot, but you will need to give a bit more info on your problem. What kind of setup do you have? Graphics card? Can you access a terminal?

good luck,

If you are referring to the "create launcher" option to do things like creating a Desktop link, you are right. Ubuntu 12.04 uses a totally different method. One method:

Another method (I haven't tried this, but I don't use Ubuntu regularly):
