I would like to restore the Unity Launcher on desktop Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Seems there may be other issues going on.


mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/0292700a-f5b5-4d71-a8f3-5a4fed614821 on /root failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4.1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)

This is where it stopped.Now what? Sorry, nooby to learn.


I have read many of the posts on restoring the Unity launcher, but none the solutions tried have worked. One day it was working, the next day - gone. The compiz manager will not open also. When trying to reset Unity the following appeared:
