When I turn my PC on it works until bacground picture comes.
But than nothing comes.
No desktop icons,
no upper line settings,
no left short-cut icons. Nothing.

I can move mouse pointer on an empty screen but can do nothing with my keyboard.
Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work,
CTRL+Alt+T does not work,
Alt+F4 does not work...

I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu and format my PC.

Hope smeone would help me. Thanks in advance.

You can attempt to rest the settings:

  • Press Ctrl+Alt+F2.
  • You will get a login prompt with a black screen. Login to your account.
  • Execute this command:

    sudo rm -r .*
    sudo reboot now

Warning!

This will erase your application settings, including Firefox history and bookmarks.

You just need to turn the Unity plugin back on.

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and log in.

  2. Install the jibby you'll need to configure the settings by running this:

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

  3. Then run it by doing this: 

    export DISPLAY=:0
ccsm

    The first part tells the terminal which display you want it to load on (otherwise it won't have a clue).

  4. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or Ctrl+Alt+F8 sometimes) to get back to the graphical display where there should be a CompizConfig Settings Manager screen sitting there.

  5. Find the Unity plugin. Enable it.

  6. Everything should spring into life but if it doesn't, you might have to restart. You can do that by going back to TTY1 and running sudo reboot.
