I was upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 just for kicks and lost power to the PC while it was about 3/4 done with the install section of the upgrade.
I can login successfully and launch apps from the terminal (posting this from the comp). The main thing I'm missing is the launcher dock and the notification bar at the top.
Since I am able to easily access the terminal, I've tried apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get upgrade, and dpkg --configure -a. All of which do nothing.
Is there anything I can do to fix the install aside from downloading the ISO and going off that.
