I upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04LTS. I can't see my Launcher. Both my Launcher and Panel look like static. How to fix it?

It is not recommended to upgrade from the update manager, many things could go wrong, you should have downloaded the ISO file from the website, then backup everything, then upgrade, then restore. Check this.
Lets try to fix this, lets reinstall unity
sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

How do I get there? I'm not an expert with Ubuntu... Total novice to be exact. Again, I can't see any of my icons... So I'm randomly clicking in areas where i remember icons being positioned. Jan 18, 2014 at 6:43

@user237107 you don't know what the login info are? I suggest you do a fresh installation, forget about fixing this one and reinstall the OS that you want, only this time do it right :) I did that many times myself, reinstalling a distro rather than fixing it, since you have nothing on it yet– LynobJan 18, 2014 at 13:46

@Fischer I know the login for the computer but as I type it in no see nothing and the response is that my information is incorrect. Jan 20, 2014 at 23:02
