Bug Description

After taking the update & installation of Ubuntu 7.10, Kernel 2.6.22-14 I found all the desktop icons are missing, only Prt Scr key in keyboard is functioning, mouse is also inactive. Even nothing could be done in recovery mode. So I had to restart the PC by rest button.
Now my LINUX OS is not available.

thank you for your response. I tried to send you the screen shot you asked. During the process I tried to save the shot in my USB drive, which I couldn't trace. I could open my mail box through Firefox with the Help -> Report a Problem.
Steps I did take:
I started UBUNTU OS -> I was asked for Updates -> I accepted -> I was asked for root password -> I typed & entered -> The Updates were around 125 MB -> after the down load I got the message that some of the Updates could not be down loaded, others are installed sucessfully -> I switched off the machine.
Next day I found the problem after starting the machine.
all desktop icons missing, yes that mean Applications, Places, System,
Date, Switcher are all missing.
I am trying to capture the screen shot & attach with this mail. Before that I am sending this mail as a precautionary if I miss this screen again
