If above command doesnot work try this(it saved me a week ago): `Ctrl+Alt+F1ยด

sudo service lightdm stop rm ~/.config/dconf/user sudo service lightdm start

I have tried many different things, but below solution worked for me:

  • Go to your folder: usr/bin and click "gnome-terminal".
  • When terminal opens write "ccsm"
  • This will open unity screen.
  • Select "unity plugin" and then tick "enable unity plugin" option.
  • That will bring back your dashboard.

Enter the following commands:-

Ctrl+Alt+F1

login there by user name and password, type

sudo service lightdm restart

If lightdm fails to get back at normal :- Enter:- sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install unity
