I had to shutdown my laptop unconventionally because of a programm error. Now if I startup I receive just the blue desktop wallpaper, without any menus. Can't even access the terminal. The right mouse button works and behaves normally and I can reach the settings. Something with gnome?

I already tried

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

from the command line without any success.

I also tried:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

In the user interface press Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2.

Then a command line shows. Type your login account and password.

Type the following commands.

 sudo apt-get install gnome sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo reboot

In the login screen change the Desktop Environment(DE) to GNOME. Then again back to Ubuntu default.

Please provide a feedback!
