Few days ago while Ubuntu 12.04 was doing a common system update, my laptop turned off in the middle of process due to bad AC power. Since then, I can only login but nothing else. A message about compiz appears, but mouse, keyboard, icons, Unity are not working.

The only thing I was able to do is a boot repair, as described in Ubuntu's site, but neither this helped. Hope you can help me.

Can you boot to recovery mode entry? If you can, it should show you a small menu.

In that menu:

  • select Network to activate the network (internet),
  • then select Drop to root shell.

That will load a command prompt as root.

Then you can try:

dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install -f

Usually that can help with broken packages.
