I tried to follow the steps on Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears, but whenever I do, I don't know how to log in when it prompts me. How do I log on? I run 14.04 Trusty.

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F3 ...
  2. Write your username (lowercase, the name of the user folder in /home) and hit Enter
  3. Write your password (nothing will appear) and hit Enter
  4. If your password and username are correct, you are now logged in.

Note that only CTRL + ALT + F[1-6] will open a text terminal on Ubuntu (See /etc/default/console-setup and the line ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]") – Sylvain Pineau May 16 '14 at 19:04
