[Bug 1246292] [NEW] Launcher and top panel missing after interrupted upgrade to Saucy

[thomas michael hagen]

Public bug reported:

My first attempt to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 halted midway. I shut
down the computer using the shut down command, and started it again some
time later.

I launched update-manager again, and it told me that it could only do an
incomplete upgrade, because it had previously been interrupted.

The upgrade finished, and I restarted the computer as instructed. It
turned back on, and I can now see my background image, but the launcher
and the top panel are gone. Thus, I can't use the computer for anything.

I've tried starting terminal by pressing Alt-F2, but nothing happens.

I can move the mouse around the screen, and right-click brings up the
right-click menu.

I am, of course, writing this bug report from another system, as my
system is now non-functional.
