    Unity not loading after nvidia drivers installation

    Hi.

    I've messed up my ubuntu 13.04.
    I've installed nvidia drivers with this commands (found on a STEAM guide):

    apt-get install nvidia-experimental-310
    apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

    But now unity does not load. After login I only get the wallpaper, nothing more.
    I already purged this packages and tried to reinstall ubuntu-desktop but I still get the same problem.

    Any ideas?

    use synaptic to purge the installed nvidia packages, drop the xorg.conf too if it exist, then install nvidia-313-updates

    Re: Unity not loading after nvidia drivers installation

    Tried to reinstall unity and ubuntu-desktop and nothing.
    Tried to reset unity, but I'm getting an error:

    dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

    Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch --autolaunch= (...): Child process exited with code 1


    Have some errors on xsession-error file:
    compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded.
    (...)
    I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/myuser/.compiz/session/(...)

    3. Login
    4. Launch gnome-terminal
    5. Install ccsm
    6. Run ccsm
    7. Enable Unity Plugin
    8. Resolv conflicts with keys

    I got unity working again , heres how . I installed the nvidia 304 updates and the nvidia settings updates ( I don't know if this had anything to do with it ) , I reinstalled unity rebooted and loged into unity ( ubunty default ) still no top bar and launcher , then I brought up ccsm and enabled the unity plugin , it said it conflicted with 2 gnome settings and asked to disable them I clicked disable them and unity came up working . I logged out of unity and into gnome-shell and it also seems to be normal . I logged out of gnome-shell and back into unity and it is still working so it may be as simple as reinstalling unity and letting it disable the 2 things it asks to in ccsm .
    if it ain't broke you haven't tweaked it enough
