    You could try unity 2d a go to see if that helps.

    Log out of your current user and click on the Ubuntu logo next to your name on the login screen, next choose Unity 2d and then type your password and log in.

    If this does not solve your issue you could try installing "Gnome" from the Ubuntu software Center and log into "Gnome Classic" using the same method as above (Although selecting Gnome Classic instead of Unity 2d)

    Hope this helps.
