Public bug reported:
I used update-manager -d to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 beta1. Near the
end of the upgrade I received a message that ubuntu-desktop failed to
upgrade. A few seconds later I got another message saying that the
system had been upgraded but some packages failed and the system might
be unstable. Upon rebooting, the system is ruined. The desktop will
load, but nothing works. When something is clicked on the side menu, it
opens (though very transparent) but disappears as soon as I try to click
anything. Desktop icons come up through the launcher menu (which also
does nothing). After the desktop is loaded for ~30 seconds, I get a
popup asking to send a bug report. When I click to allow, it asks for
my password but as soon as I put in my password the same popup shows up
again and again without actually reporting anything. Absolutely nothing
on the desktop works. I can't even logout/shutdown. Ended up having to
kill the power manually. The system is completely unusable.
