Ubuntu – find Unity’s log files

11.10unityupgrade

Since I upgraded to Oneiric, the top left Unity menu button is missing, fonts look a bit weird (font size changed) and the login screen looks like the one from Natty, except with a GTK1-like gray theme. Apart from that, everything (e.g. the Unity launcher bar) looks kind of okay. I have no idea how to pinpoint the problem, are there any log files I should check? Xorg.0.log doesn't contain any errors.

I have a Lenovo T410 with a nvidia graphics card and the proprietary driver is installed. Hardware acceleration works fine.

While most of the things you describe probably won't be listed in log files, you may find some errors relating to the login screen in the lightdm logs. They can be found in /var/log/lightdm/
