I installed Ubuntu gnome because I didn't want unity, but now I want the option to switch between unity and gnome. How do I get unity working?

Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-unity-desktop

Then log out, and before you log in, you should be able to change the desktop enviroment.
