So you were trying to customize your Ubuntu desktop but messed it up to end up with no Unity, no Launcher and no Dash?<\/strong> Don\u2019t panic, there is a solution for this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fix no Unity, no Launcher, no Dash in Ubuntu 14.04 – 20.04.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At login time, use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to access the command line interface. You will have to use your username and password here. Once logged in, use the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop\nsudo apt-get install unity\nsudo shutdown -r now<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Hope this fixes the issue with Ubuntu 14.04 – 20.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternative 1:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If the above solution did not work for you, try removing everything from config using the command below. You can still open the terminal using the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mv ~\/.config ~\/.config_backup<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This will reset everything and your Ubuntu system will resemble to the looks of a fresh install. Installed applications will be untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If even that did not work for you, there is another trick which I used in Ubuntu 12.10. But it still works for Ubuntu 17.10 GNOME.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fix no Unity, no Launcher, no Dash in Ubuntu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I was installing Ubuntu on my friend\u2019s laptop the other day when I encountered this strange scenario. After the fresh install when I boot into Ubuntu, there was no Unity, no side launcher, no dash, nothing. All it had was just the default wallpaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubuntu Desktop Without Unity<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, something was broken. I tried the good old technique to reset Unity and Compiz in Ubuntu<\/a>, did not work. After looking for hours in the forum, I came up with this awesome one-liner solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal. Now use the following command in the terminal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rm -rf .compiz-1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And that is it. No need to do anything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
