One of my user accounts logs in without desktop environment
- by Bill Cheatham
When I log in to my main user account on Ubuntu 11.10 ,the desktop environment (unity bar, clock, volume control, etc.) is not there. All I have is the desktop background with a menu bar across the top which appears to be for nautilus (options like File-New folder).
My other accounts log in like normal.
I have recently followed these instructions to give my main user account access to an OSX partition, but I think I have logged in successfully since then.
I am able to get a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+t, but when I typed unity the whole thing crashed.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have a separate administrator account I can use if needed.
