If above command doesnot work try this(it saved me a week ago): `Ctrl+Alt+F1´
sudo service lightdm stop
rm ~/.config/dconf/user
sudo service lightdm start

2This deletes all your unity settings, including wallpaper, unity bar shortcuts, ...! Aug 8, 2016 at 23:19
I have tried many different things, but below solution worked for me:
- Go to your folder: usr/bin and click "gnome-terminal".
- When terminal opens write "ccsm"
- This will open unity screen.
- Select "unity plugin" and then tick "enable unity plugin" option.
- That will bring back your dashboard.

I tried this, but nothing happens, and after I close ccsm and reopen it, none of the settings seemed to stay there. Apr 11, 2018 at 2:54

Enter the following commands:-
Ctrl+Alt+F1
login there by user name and password, type
sudo service lightdm restart
If lightdm fails to get back at normal :-
Enter:- sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install unity
