Natty 64 bit upgrade issue

[Steve Morris]

Hi,
     I have downloaded and burned the natty 64bit alternate cd. Having 
used apt-cdrom to add the cd to the repositories and disabled the 
maverick cd repositories with synaptic, I attempted to use  sudo apt-get 
dist-upgrade, to upgrade my kubuntu/ubuntu system,  which failed because 
it said that a package (whose name I don't remember) was going to break 
networkmanager and refused to go any further.
     I found that packagekit had detected the natty cd and offered a 
dist upgrade feature which I used. It then proceeded to update and 
configure the system from the cdrom, plus I think some packages from the 
net. It also removed 60 packages, after prompting me to do so, on the 
grounds that after the upgrade they were obsolete. This upgrade with 
packagekit said it was going to install around 200 (I think) packages 
and upgrade 1163.
     When I rebooted I found that there was no entry for Ubuntu in kdm. 
I booted into kde and then used synaptic to install both gnome-minimal 
and gnome-desktop, and also installed all packages beginning with Unity 
(there were no packages beginning with Unity actually installed, so I'm 
not sure what the upgrade did, given that I thought with 11.04 the base 
was Unity, not Gnome). When I rebooted there were entries in kdm for 
Ubuntu and Ubuntu Classic.
     If I selected Ubuntu Classic the system loaded what looked like 
standard Gnome, but if I selected Ubuntu all I got was a desktop 
background with no taskbars and the only mouse right click functionality 
was to create new folders, documents and change the background wallpaper.
     As a side issue to this when I booted the load screen said my 
system was Kubuntu 11.04, so it thinks the system has actually been 
upgraded.

     Does anyone know what packages I need in order to get a fully 
working Unity desktop?

regards,
Steve
