Thank you for the quick reply. Yes there is obviously a bug and it was
reported during the install process. My question was in regards of
recovery. Either some other way of running terminal and doing either a
system update/fix or as the URL suggests run terminal to find the none
specific bug. Without access to Terminal this is nt possible. Is there a
third or fourth way of starting Terminal and what commands do I use?

As workaround select Unity-2d on login.

Try from virtual console (tty): ctrl+alt+f1
unity --reset

either reboot:
sudo reboot

or back to GUI: ctrl+alt+f7

Login to Unity and try alt+f2, run: gnome-terminal
or try again ctrl+alt+t or maybe alt+t.
Enter:
unity --replace

Or install ccsm via tty:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

run it via alt+f2 or in a terminal:
ccsm

Click on the Unity plugin, enable checkmark on the left if it isn't.

Great place - smart answers.

 Thank you for your prompt reply and work around suggestions. I did try
something similar. I went to the login screen and tried each of the option
with no success. I notice some other replies suggested the something.
However, reading up on the problem I did get a hint which I followed up on.

The hint or suggestion was to use Nautllus to find Compwiz (CCSM) and
enable Unity from there. I tried it but couldn't find any enabling button
or tick box in Compwiz. Again this led me to think if I could using the
search function in Nautllus find 'Terminal' . It did. I clicked on the icon
twice and up popped the Terminal window. Great.

 With Terminal open and the computer hooked up to the broadband network I
firstly ran 'ubuntu-bug -w and reported the findings. Next, I ran 'apt-get
check' followed by 'apt-get -f install' It found six or seven broken
packages and fixed them. Once that was complete I installed 'Synaptic'.

Once broken packages had been fixed I notice the computer began or resumed
the initial installation process that seemed to go on for some time. I can
only presume that because of the broken packages the initial installation
process was stalled until the packages were repaired. Is that so.

After that I did apt-get update followed 'apt-get install' It failed. The
install function fell over because:

   1.

   it said you could not do a partial upgrade which it wanted using this
   tool (the Update Manager)
   2.

   it couldn't update packages left over from the previous 11.10
   installation.

 I restarted the computer a low and behold Unity launcher menu bar and the
top apps menu bar suddenly appeared.

Using Synaptic I was then able to complete the installation of the packages
the Update Manager seemed unable to do.

So as you can see I have finally and hopefully completed the installation
of 12.04 successfully. Fingers crossed.

Thank you again

Remember 12.04 is still beta (developement release), issues are expected and may leave the system in a nonbootable state.
