How long ago did you install, and was the install a clean install or did you use the Upgrade feature on the live CD. I'm afraid there seem to have been problems on some hardware unless the install was a clean one.

From terminal type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

give your password when asked from the system you will not have any visual feedback when you type the password so type it then press enter.

To install gimp you need to type this command:

sudo apt-get install gimp
