Mouse not working and many UI errors after 12.04 upgrade

  • 772

Upgraded from 10.x or 11.x and I'm having lots of problems.

All icons in the dock are gone, as well as most other icons:

monochrome dash

No icons, applications can't be focused, no window chrome (title bar etc):

file brower

Additionally, the mouse pointer isn't moving. It works fine under Win XP.

Is there a way to repair Ubuntu? And keep all application settings etc?

unity

    Looks like your upgrade has gone wrong. Boot into recovery mode from your Grub menu, enter a root shell and run:

    dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install -f

  2. choose dpkg from the recovery menu. Allow to unmount and remount the filesystem with read/write permission. Once it's done choose root from the menu and enter the command apt-get install -f Reboot after it's done.
