Need to reinstall Unity Desktop after Synaptic upgrade
I guess I goofed up, big time!
In my continuing attempt to learn about my new Linux system I read somewhere that some Ubuntu 12.10 users find the Synaptic Software Center a better choice than the Ubuntu Software Center. So, I checked it out.
While in the Synaptic Center I hit the "check for upgrade" button and was promptly presented with a list of upgrades. Unfortunately, I installed them without fully understanding what would happen. When the upgrading finished I found that my Unity Desktop had been completly removed and I had some other desktop installed. When I tried to log out and back in to Ubuntu the Ubuntu choice had vanished from my log in menu choices.
I've tried to reinstall Unity in both software centers but it won't reinstall due to dependancies. I don't want to reinstall the entire system from the live dvd and start all over again with getting my 12.10 back to how I had it. Is there any way for me to reinstall my Ubuntu/Unity system to it's former state without loosing all my bells and whistles?
