No sidebar of Unity, cant start any programme

Asked by ahmetcgl

Hi,
I did some changes in the compizconfig, that programme you know to enable cube 3d but after a short time the sidebar at the left part of the screen of unity and the dates and so on on the right top part disappeared and I cant start any programme or terminal to do something, I can browse files and I can browse the settings as I press on the desktop the "change background wallpaper"
Still I can login to ubuntu as guest or to ubuntu 2d and so on but I wanna use the standard ubuntu
but that is it all...Any help?

Try to do this:
1. Login into Ubuntu
2. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
3. Insert and run this command:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
unity --reset

4. Restart, this should work.

If when you hit CTRL + ALT + T and nothing happen, do this:
1. At login screen select Recovery Console at bottom:

2. Insert and run this command:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
unity --reset

3. Restart, this should work.

If this not work, in Compizconfig enable the plugin called 'Ubuntu unity plugin'.

Thanks dude for the fast answer, but unfortunately none of the above worked for me. By reading your answer, I figured out that I should reset unity, so I logged into ubuntu gnome classic session and I wrote "unity --reset" and it worked finally! Thanks again any way...
