Unity doesn’t load, no Launcher, no Dash appears

I logged in to ubuntu and this is all I see.

Empty Desktop

I opened up Firefox through the terminal to get here.

I remember swapping hard-drives that had Windows 8 installed in it. And after putting back this hard drive I didn't let Ubuntu start properly and restarted to log in to Windows 8.

  • install ccsm, `sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig`. In terminal type `ccsm`, Now in the plugins, check whether `unity plugin` is checked or not. If not, please check it. – Web-E Jan 30 '13 at 09:51

You will need to reset compiz and unity settings. Switch to a text terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. Login there, and issue the following commands.

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
unity --reset

You better reboot now

sudo reboot now

Hope this will help you
