I've upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and now I'm missing my launcher and menu bars. I can open terminal through keyboard shortcut. Can anyone help
Install CCSM
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
And then run it in terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
ccsm
Then search for "Ubuntu Unity Plugin". If it's not checked, check it.
If it is checked you may have another issue. Try restarting compiz:
kill -9 `pidof compiz`
This will kill it, it should start up again, if it doesn't, CTRL+ALT+F2 and then type:
sudo service lightdm restart
to restart the window manager. Go back to the terminal and run:
unity --reset
Which should reset unity. Note that in more current versions of unity, the reset option is now deprecated.
You could also try another desktop environment though this isn't a solution.
