Unity suddenly broken [duplicate]

  • 772

All of a sudden, Unity is broken on Ubuntu 14.04. After the logging screen, I can see the desktop but there are no unity panel and no top taskbar.

I tried to boot in recovery mode but I can't access the menu by holding "shift" or "esc" from boot.

How can I repair Unity ?

Note : on guest session, Unity is working.

    from Ubuntu destop, press Ctrl+Alt+F2, you will swith to a TTY teminal. Enter your user name and password. type : DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal this opens a terminal in your Ubuntu desktop. Return to Ubuntu destop by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7. Type in the terminal

    sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

setsid unity

    then reboot.
