Hello this is my first question on here, but after looking around I cant seem to find a fix for my problem.

So here it is, Everytime I start up my PC I get the usual "enter Passcode" Which I do. But after this all I get is a black screen.

I already have the Ubuntu OS installed on my PC perfectly (well not so perfectly). I cant seem to determine what the problem is, and sorry for the lack of any detail. If any is needed I am willing to oblige.

Maybe your Ubuntu is not installed correctly. You may use your disc (If you have one) OR your USB drive to install Ubuntu again. (You can use Lili to install Ubuntu on your USB drive) Before that, copy your files, because you may lose some of them.

If Unity isn't working reboot the machine, open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1

obtain dconf-tools with 

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Next, 

dconf dump /org/compiz/ > ~/Desktop/myCompizSettings

This will dump your Compiz Settings into a file on your Desktop for later review if needed.

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

will reset compiz settings to default.

Finally, 

setsid unity

The above command will restart Unity.

Return to the GUI with Ctrl+Alt+F7
