I think this is probably the same bug? After clean install from the iso - 64bit desktop downloaded yesterday, it booted into the Unity desktop which seemed to run very slowly and finally stopped responding. On re- boot, the panels had disappeared, and I couldn't make anything happen. I got the startup sound, and the background with an active mouse cursor, but that was all.
The only way I got into it again was to boot in recovery mode, and switch to low definition. Once in, I changed the boot to the gnome desktop and it works just fine. I tried putting a root terminal and Nautilus on the desktop and switching back to Unity. The icons failed to appear, so I couldn't find a way of looking around. I have done the full update before testing again. Hardware: AMD ATHLON II X4 640 (3.00GHz/2MB CACHE/AM3), Motherboard ASUSĀ® M4A78LT-M: mATX MAINBOARD, DDR3, USB 2.0, SATA 3.0Gb/s RAM 2GB.
