Answer 2

right click at that desktop of unity and create a folder and open it . then move to filesystem > usr > bin > applications . there you can find compiz settings manager . open it and enable the unity plugin and restart .

else try as ctrl+ Alt+F1 then login there and type as unity --reset then restart your pc.

Answer 3

as well just go to unity 2D and go to Compiz, setting, & then plugin list. you lost that because you/I: remove: -unityshell, & -unitymtgrabhandles. so put that back but lost all the setting include the transparency. so............. I need MyUnity on software center to fix that configuration (WHAT?! tired...!)

Answer 4

If you actually get chance to log into the desktop (though not working unity), Opening a terminal and doing unity --reset will do the job.

Procedure:

• Open a terminal by pressing CTRL + ALT + T
• Type unity --reset to reset the Unity settings.
• Then type unity to start unity.
• Then without closing the terminal, Logout from session and then Login again.
