Why did the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 ruin my system?

After upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, when I log in, everything is ruined. It's all black, blank white icons, blank black icons on the start menu, and well, nothing works. If I open up Chromium, it looks as though it's in high contrast mode.

Is this a bug? Any ideas what could have happened? Can I get 11.10 back?

No you cannot go back to 11.10 easily and even if you do , it might cause more issues. Better solution is to fix what went wrong. As a first step can you try resetting unity to default values

unity --reset



unity --reset-icons
