It is wiered that I'm not able to reinstall unity-2d on my system.
I removed it as it was not ready to go into the 2D mode. I have XRDP install for which I need Unity-2D.
after removing the unity-2d as it was not working properly. I run below command and then rebooted system before trying to reinstall it.
apt-get -f purge unity-2d lightdm
add-apt-repository --remove ppa:unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily
apt-get -f purge
apt-get -f remove
apt-get -f autoremove
apt-get -f remove
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
dpkg --configure -a
then rebooted the system using init 6
now I took the ssh of my system and then i reinstalled unity using below commands
apt-get -f install --reinstall lightdm
root@searce-OptiPlex-380-01:~# add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu trusty main"
root@searce-OptiPlex-380-01:~# add-apt-repository "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu trusty main"
Error: 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu trusty main' invalid
root@searce-OptiPlex-380-01:~# add-apt-repository ppa:unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily
To install Unity 2D, type the following commands in a terminal:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install unity-2d
This will install all of the necessary dependencies to run Unity 2D, including a "Unity 2D" session that you'll need to login with.
Then do the following: * log out * log back in and choose the "Unity 2D" session in the drop-down menu at the bottom of the login screen * you will then be running Unity 2D

root@searce-OptiPlex-380-01:~# apt-get -f reinstall unity-2d

root@searce-OptiPlex-380-01:~# restart lightdm
lightdm start/running, process 2926
root@searce-OptiPlex-380-01:~#
didn't see any error while installing but even after restarting the lightdm or even after rebooting the system I am not able to see the unity-2d option at the login screen nor it is working in XRDP. Also I do not see any menu or Icons when I login to the system physically or over XRDP.
can anyone help me. Thanks in advance.
