[Bug 1447816] [NEW] Unity desktop broken after last update

 

Public bug reported:

Few days ago, I updated my system from Ubuntu Updater. When the process
finished, Unity desktop freezed, although the mouse pointer was still
responsive. I did a system reboot, but once when my session was open:

1. Unity launcher was freezed, with no icons (white squares were placed instead of them).
2. Global menu was freezed.
3. No icons in the right-upper corner of the screen (wifi indicator, keyboard language button, bluetooth icon, etc, wheren't displayed).
4. Mouse pointer was responsive, it didn't freeze.
5. When the icons of the top bar finally appeared, they reacted very slowly to the mouse clicks.

I tried to solve this issue with sudo apt-get install --reinstall
ubuntu-desktop, but it didn't work.

Using:

Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bits.
NVIDIA GeForce 6200, with official NVIDIA driver (installed with 'additional drivers' tool).
