[Bug 817063] [NEW] unity desktop wont run

[derek]

Public bug reported:

For some time now I have been running Ubuntu Karmic Koala with no
problem.I was tempted to upgrade to Natty Narwhale so I installed it
from DVD onto a spare partition on my 2nd disk) and it loaded ok and
gave me a Unity desktop. However, when I upgraded Karmic to V11.04 via
the web I was told that my hardware did not support Unity and gave me
Gnome desktop. How come one version of Natty lets me run Unity where-as
the upgraded version wont and both disks on the same pc?
