I installed cairo dock like so
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
after i booted up and selected with graphics effect i couldn't see anything
pop up expect the desktop and mouse after a min or two i power off my machine
then booted up unity but couldn't see anything but the panel which was blue
according to my theme. i purged the ppa and did some extra stuff like so
sudo ppa-purge ppa:cairo-dock-team
sudo apt-get purge cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get check
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
nautilus --check
it removed everything no error whit the exception of nautilus --check
blade@blade-SATELLITE-L750:~$ nautilus --check
running nautilus_self_check_file_utilities
running nautilus_self_check_file_operations
running nautilus_self_check_directory

running nautilus_self_check_file_utilities
running nautilus_self_check_file_operations
running nautilus_self_check_directory
running nautilus_self_check_file
running nautilus_self_check_icon_container
my question is how do i get unity up and running again
i already tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if something got
deleted with out me knowing it. and also unity reset which works. for the dash but after a reboot it wouldn't start up again i also tried sudo compiz --replace but no luck
here is the output for compiz --replace
