Unity 23.04 no Launcher, no Panel, no Ctrl-Alt-T

[Grizzly]

Hi All

Fresh install of Unity 23.04, Minimal, Update, 3rd Party

After the install before doing anything else 

shutdown now -P

removed the Live USB I had installed from and booted up again when system 
restarted I copied my scripts, pictures & web page to my home folder

I then 

shutdown now -P

in the morning when I booted up again, entered my password I only got the big 
purple lobster (wallpaper) no Launcher, no Panel, no Ctrl-Alt-T

I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or 2 thru 6) to get a terminal, I have been in this position 
before (Unity 23.04 daily build) and searched for a cure but none worked, I 
think many moons ago I also had it on 16.04 or 18.04 but then a one liner with 
a Compiz string did the trick but things have moved on a lot since, I don't 
want to make things worse or muddy the water

Is there a command that "may" point to the cause? and if so a way to get the 
output to a place where I can access it to pass it on to wiser minds?

Of cause if one of you have had this and cured it
