So after login the screen doesn't show any icons or anything else,its just background. I did some google searching and also on this site and i found this solution Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears . But the first solution doesn't do any good.

export DISPLAY=:0
sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

and then

setsid unity

The above one however restored the icons and all but i couldn't open any drives and i face the same problem after restart. Please help I don't want to switch to windows or anything. P.S. I am noob

I have ubuntu 16.04 and these are the steps that worked for me:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install –reinstall ubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install unity

rm -rf ~/.cache/compizconfig-1

sudo shutdown -r now

hope it helps!
