After I downloaded and installed updates for 12.10 today I have no side bars/folders in unity. Everything is missing except for my desktop background pic and the mouse cursor. I can still bring up the terminal and have already tried:

unity --reset

This is meet with:

ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated

I have tried CCSM also to no avail. When I try to enable/re-enable Ubuntu utility plugin I get an error message-box saying some bindings conflict with other plugins.

I have also tried reinstalling unity which did nothing as well.

I am about out of ideas. Please help.

    There are several options on the mega-thread for this so I suggest you try some of the others. Deleting compiz configuration might be a good next step (or move it). Head down the list of answers and update your question to let us know how you get on. – Oli Feb 20 '13 at 03:47
  • I had similar problems after installing updates. Solved it by reinstalling proprietary amd display drivers. –  Feb 20 '13 at 19:11
  • I solved this by re-enabling Unity from CCSM. If you have binding conflicts, resolve them. – Hubro Jul 01 '13 at 20:59

I had a similar problem and solved it by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx lightdm  
sudo apt-get install lightdm ubuntu-desktop

Then restart your computer and the problem should be fixed.
