Recently I got stuck with Unity since it does not work at all - I see no system bar nor Unity launcher (3D/2D). Possible causes are: system update/upgrade or playing with drivers (additional fglrx or downloaded from AMD website). I would point on recent system update since I saw there OpenGL-something.

EDIT

How have I reanimated Unity:

FIRST reading askubuntu and Google answers
- reinstalled Unity,
- changed drivers,
THEN reading unity --reset
- fixed broken links to libGL.so and added few more,
THEN reading answers
- enabled Unity in ccsm
THEN reading unity --reset
- added libatiuki.so links to /lib32 and /lib (was only in /lib64).

Now it kind of works, but unity --reset (below) tells another story.

I'd be glad to know how to fix those errors:

  • Tried solutions for the same problem under 13.04, didn't work cause of purge fglrx errors and gsettings no actual scheme. Keep in mind that fglrx worked fine with 12.04 for a long time, I got a problem only recently. – Esamo Jan 04 '14 at 20:48

Worked for me (fixed Unity system bar and launcher):

Reinstall all already installed packages in Synaptic related to searches libgl and glx.

May be needed first:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle    # or another fglrxs

But FGLRX drivers doesn't feel alright on my computer anymore, so goodbye FGLRX :( . No idea why.
