[Bug 1304568] Re: Upgrade 12.04 LTS to 14.04LTS Beta 2 lost panel & launch

 

I do not have the system available at all, when last I started from an
external dvd,  (12.10)  the main screen remained blank, no further acces
exisited, thus no way of providing any more info.  Please note that in
earlier posts I indicated that I tried different monitors, all to no
avail as well.

Furthermore, with 3 different Linux versions tried, each presenting the
same problem, (each of them installed formatting the "/" partition) I
finally concluded that my new (Nov 2013) motherboard could be at fault,
so I have instigated warranty service on that.

I must add, that I have 2 other instances of 14.04LTS Beta2 and they are
working just fine running updates and generally behaving well.

My repaired motherboard wil take some time to be installed again so I
cannot help anymore except reporting any problems that might prop up.
Hopefully none will.

Title:
  Upgrade 12.04 LTS to 14.04LTS Beta 2 lost panel & launch

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Have used 14.04LTS Beta 2 for about a week, it was an in place
  upgrade, all seemed well.  However this morning starting the system I
  got the background but no panel and no launcher.  Right click on the
  screen gave the settings menu and all settings could be accessed, but
  still no launcher or panel.

   I downloaded 14.04LTS Beta2 and made a USB stick, did a complete
  install, formatting "/" but not the other paritions.  When restarted
  again no panel, no launcher but access to the settings menuis
  available.

  I used to be able to start terminal by using ctrl+alt+t, but that does
  not work anymore.

  ICannot access anything on the perfectly good screen.

  Shutting down by pressing the startup knob and then restarting
  provides the sam eproblem.
