I've recently migrated to Ubuntu from Windows 7 and it's been great so far. I have this one problem though that I cannot solve. On the right side of the screen where my icons/shortcuts (launcher) are, when hovering the mouse above them the tags that appear next to them are red. Sort of graphics problem. And when I click Dash home it doesn't open. Although I do see the min/max/close buttons at the top I see nothing else. I've already tried resetting Unity, removing it, install, re-install etc...

  • Could you add a screenshot of the issue? It's hard to understand from your description. Upload the image to a service like imgur.com and paste the link into your question. Also, please mention the version of Ubuntu you are using.

  • You are using 12.04? what is your graphics card and graphics driver? Have you tried running 14.04 from a USB stick to see if this is resolved?

  • It looks like you are running Unity 2D, is that on purpose? Did you install any graphics driver via the "Additional Drivers" app?
