I am using Ubuntu 13.04. My computer has the below graphic card:



jatin@jatin-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] [1002:6760]


I do not have NVidia graphic card installed. Given that I have to program on NVidia Cuda, I installed its drivers and setup from here (atleast so that I could compile the programs and run it on aws). For some reason since I have installed it, my unity has broken.



i.e. Only the desktop is shown without all the panels, launcher bar etc. I have tried every solution on the net since a day and have been unsuccessful (reinstall unity, ccms and enabling Unity plugin etc etc). I am a Ubuntu novice, but I think installing nvidia graphic driver might have done something weird.



Can someone please help on how to get my unity working well. (If I run ubuntu in gnome fallback mode, it runs perfectly well)



PS: I do not know if the below is helpful, but I found it to be weird:



On doing setsid unity, it shows this:



compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded.

Moreover, when I enable Unity Plugin by doing ccms. It gets enabled but on restarting ccms, it gets unselected again.

This is extremely weird but it worked. I tried multiple solutions mentioned in other similar questions and restarted a zillion times.



Ultimately in trying different things, I made a new user and logged in to that User. Surprisingly Unity worked well with that User. I logged out and logged in back to my account and Unity started working well.



Truly Weird.
