I upgraded my 12.04 LTS to 12.10 but when I login the sidebar and top bars do not load. I get the error "System Program Problem Detected" and send an error report. The screen only has the desktop background but I can pull up the terminal okay.

Is there a repair I can run from the terminal? I'd hate to have to install again. I was unable to directly install 12.10 had to do 12.04 LTS then upgrade.

Cmon people... this can't be that hard to answer. Surely you're not suggesting that Ubuntu doesn't have any ability to repair an installation are you? That other OS that everyone loves to rag on has has a repair utility for like forever? – WHAMMO Nov 16 '12 at 18:21
