I removed Unity via the Software Store and rebooted.

Now I got the following error:

unable to load session 'ubuntu'

I can't log in as guest either.

When did you get that error? Can you see the login screen? Can you enter in some TTY? – Lucio Apr 21 '13 at 21:38

Repair attempt:

Please open tty (virtual console, text mode only): Ctrl+Alt+F1

Enter:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop
sudo reboot

If above does not work, try:

sudo apt-get install gnome-session
sudo apt-get install lightdm
sudo apt-get install unity-greeter
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

The install commands will tell self-explanatory if it’s already installed or not.

Because the problem is unable to load session 'ubuntu', So the solution might

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-session

Yeah, but it's returning Unity. – aastefanov May 2 '14 at 10:23
    
I think you wanna back to Ubuntu unity. To change to other session like gnome, maybe this link can help. askubuntu.com/questions/62833/… – bagustris May 4 '14 at 4:15
