Hi, I have lost my desktop, it wont load when you start the laptop up. Its a
lanovo 550 pentium 11.10 preinstalled.....I just had a freeze, restarted and
the desktop went, I went into Ctrl+Alt+F2, and ran the command unity
  ---resetand got the message 'Warning: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it
to :0 unity-panel-service: no process found.......anybody know how I can get
around that...
When you say the desktop is gone do you get the normal logon screen
and then the problem is after logon?
Do you mean the complete desktop is gone or just the launcher and
panel?  What exactly do you see on the screen?
What happens if you do Ctrl+Alt+T

Hi, a bit more, I can right click and open nautilus......I think its just unity not starting......everytyhing else starts....but as I posted above I get that message when I try to start unity
