Public bug reported: When I start a regular Ubuntu session, the left black/gray (launcher?) bar shows, but no icons. Mouse-over flashes 'tooltip' descriptions of what should be there, but otherwise nothing.
The top 'tray' bar shows with its proper icons. The main desktop area is dead white. No display of anything except the pointer cursor. With that situation, I can't even shut down Ubuntu properly, because even if I click "Shutdown" on the top bar (that dropdown menu displays okay), the next thing to be seen should be a dialog asking to confirm. It might be there - mouse-over causes some kind of cursor changes - but it's invisible. So I'm forced to completely reboot. Under 2D, I called up the terminal and ran unity --reset. That caused the screen to blank out as above. I've also tried /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p, but that simply says that there's no problem found.
