I am an Ubuntu newbie. Ubuntu worked for 2 weeks but one day I installed a few things and then shut down. The next morning when I booted into Ubuntu it let me log in but then it just stayed on an orange screen that said Ubuntu 14.04. The side bar and rest of the desktop never showed up. I waited an hour for and still nothing.

One possible solution is to log in as a guest user and see if it lets you into the desktop. If it does, then you can backtrack the things you have installed or any settings you may have changed.
I recently had the same problem caused by incorrectly adding an environmental variable in my .profile. If you are in fact able to get into the guest account, use the terminal to ssh into your user account and start troubleshooting.
ssh my-user@localhost
Good Luck
