When I was trying to reinstall compiz, first I tried to remove it and I think I have deleted my ubuntu-desktop and unity at the same time. I have tried to reinstall them but no use and now I'm stuck in a black screen after the Ubuntu logo. No desktop, no Unity, just a black screen and all I can do is reach the terminal through Alt+ctrl+F1

So if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

  • what do you mean with "i have tried to reinstall" - what have you tried? have you tried (in the terminal (alt+ctrl+f1)) an sudo apt-get install compiz and sudo apt-get install unity (if that package does not exist do a apt-cache search unity - maybe the package is named something like "unity8"
