Take the 2-minute tour ×  I was trying to disable the 'global
menu' feature in Unity, and Unity began to malfunction. I was
unable to move windows, the left menu bar had disappeared, and
the top panel was also gone. I couldn't open a terminal as I

terminal(tty2), logged in, used sudo, and executed  # unity
--reset  but it never finished.  I have pasted the output here
