  • have you tried resetting your dconf? mv ~/.config/dconf/user ~/.config/dconf/user.old

I had the same problem and I solved it by this: bring up virtual console by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1, then type

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

it will take some time after finishing reboot the system

sudo reboot
