an Nvidia GPU, and I have used both the Nouveau and Nvidia drivers at

I just reinstalled from the DVD (because of a problem not relevant to
this specific issue, I believe).
When running as Live User from the DVD, the display is OK.
After installation, I get the login screen as expected. At this point
there is a Menu bar at the top of the window.
After I login with my password, the screen changes to the usual mottled
green background, but there is no Menu bar. Before I reinstalled, the
Menu bar was present and I could use the system as normal.
How can I do anything without a Menu bar ? What might cause this
problem ? I have reinstalled again and get the same result. I did notice
an error message to do with the Noveau driver, but can't access the
details without rebooting into text mode by tweaking Grub. But could a
Nouveau problem cause this behaviour ?
What else can I try ?
TIA
