Public bug reported:
The system has Gnome desktop installed as well. Creating a new user besides the one created during system installation does not offer access to the Gnome desktop, only Unity. Gnome presents the default wallpaper, and thats all. No icons, no menus, nothing. Just the desktop. Same user gets an "Invalid UTF-8" instead of his name at the top panel. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) Release: 13.04 apt-cache policy gnome-shell gnome-shell: Installed: 3.6.3.1-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 3.6.3.1-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 3.6.3.1-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169987 Title: gnome desktop: nothing but the wallpaper!
