Comment 3 for bug 692905

I think this may be the bug that I'm seeing. On installing 64 bit 11.04 from the liveCD, Unity worked. After allowing the updates to complete and re-booting, all I got was the background and an active mouse cursor. This is a single monitor installation, so I suspect the multihead configuration is irrelevant. I am using an ASUS® M4A78LT-M: mATX MAINBOARD, DDR3, USB 2.0, SATA 3.0Gb/s with the monitor connected to the internal graphics adaptor (no video card). I have 2GiB RAM and I'm using it with an AMD Athlon II quad core at 3GiHz. My normal installation is 10.04 running on a separate hard drive and I have no problem with that. I have the proprietary graphics driver installed on both 10.04 and 11.04.

I can boot in grub recovery mode and use the failsafe video mode which starts the Gnome desktop. I have to switch to Classic Desktop to get it to work any other way. I thought I might have done a faulty install first time around but I have just re-installed as a clean install and get exactly the same symptoms.

Please ask if you want any more information about hardware or anything else.
