No desktop only blank screen

Question

I started my Laptop this morning and after login there is only a black screen. I tried to re-install the desktop, but it didn't work.

When I rebooted the machine with Shift key pressed it displayed

configure drivers manually

I have an Intel graphics card in my HP G62 running Ubuntu 14.04.

have you done any changes/updates before shutting your laptop down last time? — Pabi, Jul 21, 2014 at 17:28
I've had the same problem. The only thing that did it for me was clean install. What version you running? I ran into the problem when upgrading from 12.04 to 14,04 Did you update anything the last time it worked ? — Beefclotloaf, Jul 21, 2014 at 17:36
Yupp one update was done for my printer's driver. So how can I clean that update using terminal? — user3252109, Jul 21, 2014 at 17:43

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS try

unity --replace

or, if you are running 12.04 LTS, try

unity --reset
