So as I'm new on Ubuntu I'm forced to ask: what to do
Thanks on advance
when you say everything went missing from the desktop what do you mean?
for example: the side bar went missing? and the black bar along the top?
if so, it means unity is broken and needs restored. try this:
press:
it will open a virtual terminal. Login to it. then type:
this will kill the window manager, then run:
Code:
mv -v ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1.BROKEN
and finally
Code:
mv -v ~/.config/dconf ~/.config/dconf.BROKEN
then press:
and log in as normal. It should restore unity for you..
