http://askubuntu.com – I have a bootable usb stick that has Ubuntu 12.10 on it, so I loaded it onto my computer which is semi old because it was really full and ubuntu is nice software when it works. And all went well until I booted it up the first time and it said that the Compiz thing was missing and I looked that up on the internet and I must have typed 20 different codes into terminal, and nothing seemed to work. Can you please help? I dont know what to do anymore and the only thing I can do it open up terminal because nothing pops up on the screen. Thanks :) (HowTos)

Stories similar to Unity bar and Menu bar Gone

Hello, I have installed xubuntu onto my acer aspire one and have had no problems but this one.

I can not get firefox to open through any way except through the terminal. The drop down menu ones don't work neither does the one on the dock every time i open through these i get, Profile Missing. you Firefox profile can not be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible.

Okay, so I am missing my unity panel, top bar and cairo dock!? I tried logging in with different set-ups such as Gnome classic, Unity, Cairo-dock w/ Unity, etc. The only way I can log out is Alt+Ctrl L... And the only way I am writing this is when I first opened my session I had Gnome Do and typed in F for Firefox. I tried the terminal command unity --reset to no avail! What do I do now?!

I booted up my laptop today after the battery ran dry while I was out of the room. Every thing worked as normal, but when I went into Places-Computer, there was 2 more CD/DVD drives than when I left. Right next to my real one! I looked in /media and they were there too, listed as cdrom and cdrom0, but they both open into my Cd drive.

Boots up into Terminal 35 weeks 2 days ago

I am running a 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.04.1, and I when I boot up, I am thrown (Rather violently. :P) a full-sized terminal, instead of my lovely GUI login screen.. So I looked around and tried the "startx" command, which works like a charm.

How do I reinstall Compiz? 21 weeks 3 days ago

Recently, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on an old IBM computer, but when trying to log in, there is no Unity launcher, top bar, etc. If I wait around a minute or so, a message box appears that says "The application Compiz has stopped unexpectedly" or something along those lines. I can use the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and have tried using CCSM and everything looks normal.

I have three PC's. Two work well using DirEttore radio automation software via wine 1.5.16, the other one doesn't (the app loads but freezes once loaded) - though it works well with wine 1.4.1, just very slow at start up.

I also have a USB stick with Ubuntu 12.04 loaded.

I have post a tutorial using Compiz to set a transparent terminal window stick on Ubuntu wallpaper, but I failed setting it up in Ubuntu 12.04 Unity. So here’s an alternative for some want a transparent terminal on Ubuntu 12.04 wallpaper using tilda. Tilda is a highly customizable Linux terminal window.

Hello, i dont know how this happened, im relatively new to Ubuntu so im not good at using it.

I was using compiz so that my side bar would pop up faster because i didnt like waiting for so long. then i was messing around with some other stuff, i saw this cube thing and that looked interesting, but then decided i didnt want it.

I'm trying to create a bootable USB stick on OS X using http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx

When this finishes, I get a message in terminal saying "695+1 records in 695+1 records out 729067520 bytes transferred in 264.563662 secs (2755736 bytes/sec)"

But a message pops up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"
