Did you install the nvidia drivers in the additional drivers?

enter image description here

It should prompt you to install them, in the panel you should see a little icon.

If it doesn't they can be found System → Administration → Additional Drivers, then go ahead and activate the appropriate driver (probably the current version).

After that you will need to restart your computer when prompted and Unity should work.

You may install unity-2d-default-settings and try it again.
