Public bug reported: By default this system uses the Nouveau drivers, with which Unity and the desktop work correctly, but the system becomes unresponsive when trying to resume from suspend (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/754711). The usual workaround is to use the proprietary drivers. However, when I tried using them on this system running Ubuntu 12.10 (first time I test this release), they didn't work.
Only the desktop background is shown; the desktop folders, Unity dash and top menu bar/panel are not present. I was able to launch a terminal by ctrl-alt-t, but this window (and any others) I launch appear without title bars or controls. I can't even alt-tab through them. So I guess compiz isn't running either. What I did: - Install 12.10 - from a terminal, sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall it installed a broadcom driver and nvidia-current. Then I rebooted and got the described behavior. I also tested nvidia-current-updates and nvidia-experimental-304 with the same results.
