I don't have access to terminal. To log out I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del. Logs out, goes to Log In screem, asks for password and goes black again.

Press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run:

killall -u $USER

Then change the session on the login screen. You can run a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T as well.

Now I have another error: The application Compiz has close unexpectedly. Compiz crashed with SIGSEGV

Looks like is Nvidea problem.

CTRL+ALT+T does not work. After killall it goes back to Login, asks for password and does the same.
Can I go back to 11.10? How?

I just disabled NVidea drivers. Made another Login and the apps and the up bar appears very big, but appears. NVidea drivers are not working in 12.04

It's nvidia, not nvidea.

What is the output of:

sudo lshw -C display

You may fid the screen you are using isn't doing what it is supposed to do, making the driver not load properly.

After I disabled Nvidia drivers and restart the computer everything looks normal. No Nvidia driver is active.

I had to uninstall nvidia to work again.

apt-get purge nvidia-current

It only works if there is no nvidia driver installed.

You may need to manually edit /etc/X11/xor.conf

If you add the below text:

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 280.13 (buildd@rothera) Fri Aug 5 12:28:41 UTC 2011
