Installed Pangolin on friday night. Now I have the following issues: 1) Random logouts where it dumps me back to the Ubuntu login screen, losing any open work as it does so. 2) No power button in top right. (hard button still brings up shut down dialog) 3) No volume button in top right. 4) No apps listed in dash. unless its already in the dock, I can't get to it. This includes Terminal. Unable to install anything from the ubuntu app store as the permission dialog appears and disappears instantly. 5) Flash is super crashy in firefox, but can't install any variations, as above. 6) Video played through the video player is blue tinted. I presume a lot of this could be down to my nVidia card, going by discussions in here. How can I fix this, without access to the terminal? CTRL-ALT-F5 just gives me a dead screen. Tried to fix using dpkg in the boot menu, but to no avail. I get some info about out of date for unity lens??? Otherwise 12.04 has been just PEACHY.

Mark Kidd posted:Can you can use the run dialog to execute gksudo apt-get install ubuntu-dekstop? It would appear not. I can get to the shell from the boot menu, will try it from there and come back to you. ^^^ 2 above Upgrade. Can't believe how ganked it is.

AlexDeGruven posted:That's seriously hosed up. Something definitely didn't go right. Did/do you have a bunch of PPAs for system-level stuff set up? Just run apt-get update which did some stuff. No improvement. Libatk-adaptor-schemas 2.4.0-1ubuntu2 seems to be causing the problem now. Any ideas?

Mark Kidd posted:Sorry if this is a silly question, but after you ran apt-get update did you also run apt-get upgrade? Yup Mark Kidd posted:How about just installing the ubuntu-desktop package? I'm not entirely sure whether I've done it or not. Without ready access to Terminal its making me jump through hoops. I'm sure I just used CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to the shell five minutes ago, try it now and its dead-screening me. This thing keeps cutting my hands off every time I try to fix it. Run command from the dash does not work. HELP.

Welp. I've just done all the recommended things that have been mentioned in this thread (dist-upgrade, nvidia-current etc), and this machine is just as hosed as it was before. 1) No apps or control panels in dashboard. (Including terminal) 2) No power or volume buttons in top right (not a display resolution issue) 3) Random crashes to the login screen, which loses anything I'm working on I'm on the verge of shoving all my files on to my portable HDD and wiping this machine clean, and putting something else on it. Thoughts?
