Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity
I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 today and I'm using the default unity. For the first few times I logged in everything seemed normal. However after 1 or 2 logins later, the task launcher at the left hand side of the screen (and the top bar with the log out / me menu) didn't load and were missing. I was unable to launch any programmes at all. I had to use SysReq to reboot the machine into classic mode.
