why ubuntu start button not showing up in ubuntu 11.10; While upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 it throwed me upgrade not successful, but i'm able to login as 11.10, now that i see there is no ubuntu start button.
As far as I'm aware, the "Ubuntu start button" has moved in 11.10 from the top menu to the panel - the panel is displayed when you move mouse cursor to the left edge of the screen.
The "Start" button is on the left side, the first button on the launcher.

There is a chance, however, that you mean something completely different :)
