What have you upgraded from and what have you upgraded to? If you have upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 then the gui has changed a lot. Some people prefer it but many don't. I'm one of those that don't.

Before you make you mind up however take a look at the manual and get the feel of it

The manual can be found here

http://ubuntu-manual.org/

If you want to get back to the old gui, well something close to it then

Open a terminal by pressing CTRL_ALT+T

enter the following command

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

reboot and at the logon screen select the gear icon and choose the classic desktop.

If this not what you want then ignore this post and provide the answer to post #1

Can you help with this problem?
